Puppet users - Oct 2009 - Service started with "onestart" instead of "start"

Hello all,

I''m using Puppet to ensure a service is running. After stopping the
service and running "puppetd -v -o --test", I sometimes (not always)
get an error output like this one:

"Could not start Service[myService]: Execution of ''/etc/init.d/
myService onestart"

I wonder why it calls "onestart" instead of "start".

Then I run "puppetd -v -o --debug" and get the following outputs:
- when it runs ok:

Service[myService](provider=debian): Executing ''ps -ef''
Puppet::Type::Service::ProviderDebian: Executing ''/usr/sbin/update-
rc.d -n -f myService remove
Service[myService](provider=debian): Executing ''/etc/init.d/myService
start''
Puppet::Type::Service::ProviderDebian: Executing ''/usr/sbin/update-
rc.d -n -f myService remove

- when it runs with error:

Service[myService](provider=freebsd): Executing ''ps -ef
Service[myService](provider=freebsd): Executing ''/etc/init.d/myService
onestart''

Do you think the change of provider can explain the error ? Why can
the provider change ? (I run the command in the same server).

Thank you.
Best wishes.

I think older versions of puppet detect two providers for Service
types; puppet and BSD.  It always picks BSD first (''onestart''
is a BSD
command).  You can override the provider by adding ''provider =>
debian
'' to the declaration of the service.

You can also override this globally, IIRC.

Hello,

Thank you for your replies. I override the provider and it runs ok
everytime.
The version of puppetd I use is 0.24.5 and the version of facter is
1.5.1.

Best wishes.

and which distro are you using? puppet should automatically take the  
best suited provider to manage packages.

Hello,

I use Ubuntu 7.10 inside Vmware.
When I run "puppetd -v -o --test", I also get the warning message:
"warning: Found multiple default providers for service: debian,
freebsd; using freebsd"

Best wishes.

can you upgrade to latest facter and puppet and check wether it is  
still a problem?

Hello,

I am not sure if I can upgrade to latest facter and puppet. I need to
ask my system administrator.

Best wishes.
