Puppet users - Jul 2011 - I have a service that just wont restart.

For my nagios::nrpe class, I have the following service:

        service {"nagios-nrpe-server":
            ensure => running,
            enable => true,
            require => Package["nagios-nrpe-server"],
            hasrestart => true,
            restart => "/etc/init.d/nagios-nrpe-server restart",
            subscribe => File["/etc/nagios/nrpe.d/"],
        }

In all of the nrpe config file entries, I have:

        notify => Service["nagios-nrpe-server"]

It even says that it restarted the service:

info:
/Stage[main]//Node[alpha.xxxxxxxx.net]/Nagios::Nrpe::Check_mem[alpha.xxxxxxxx.net]/Nagios::Nrpe::Check[mem]/File[/etc/nagios/nrpe.d/check_mem.cfg]:
Scheduling refresh of Service[nagios-nrpe-server]
notice: /Stage[main]/Nagios::Nrpe/Service[nagios-nrpe-server]/ensure: ensure 
changed ''stopped'' to ''running''
notice: /Stage[main]/Nagios::Nrpe/Service[nagios-nrpe-server]: Triggered 
''refresh'' from 1 events

However, it wont actually restart the service, and I have to do it manually:

    sudo /etc/init.d/nagios-nrpe-server restart

After that, it works perfectly.

I am running Puppet 2.6.2 on Debian Lenny

That looks like its trying to start it, not restart it. Do you get
this message each time you do a puppet run (even when nothing has
changed)? If so - you might need a valid ''status'' command and
use
hasstatus => true. It probably thinks its not started perhaps.

Puppet falls back to looking in the process table when you don''t
specify hasstatus => true to determine service status - and it uses
the name of the service (in this case nagios-nrpe-server) to do the
search.

Yes, it says it every time. The actual process is called "nrpe", so
that
makes sense that it can''t find it. 

Unfortunately, it doesn''t have a status command. What should I do
instead?

Use the pattern attribute, documented here:

Awesome! Adding `pattern => "nrpe"` solved the issue. 

Thanks for your help.
