[Puppet Users] can''t get custom restart to work on a windows service
Hi!
I am encountering something that I am not sure is a bug or not, so I
thought I''d post a question.
Running Puppet 2.7.18 on Windows 2003.
Basically, what I want to do is manage nsclient++ on windows. I am able to
manage the files just fine, but restarting doesn''t work because of bug
13489<http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/13489>.
So I thought I might circumvent it thusly:
service { "NSClientpp":
ensure => running,
restart => ''c:/program
files/nsclient++/scripts/restart.bat'',
subscribe => File["c:/program files/nsclient++/nsc.ini"],
}
and restart.bat is very simple:
sc stop nsclientpp
perl -e "sleep 10"
sc start nsclientpp
echo ran >> c:\restart.txt
it has world read and execute permissions, so it should run, but
restart.txt doesn''t get created and the service still won''t
start on its
own.
My question is whether I am doing something wrong or is this is a bug?
Thanks
Dan

I am able to manage the files just fine, but restarting doesn''t work because of bug 13489.I''d recommend trying out the latest version of puppet 2.7.x, directly from github. You should just need to patch `lib/puppet/provider/service/windows.rb`. Normally, I''d point you to our nightly builds, but the windows jobs haven''t been running lately due to some infrastructure reorganization. I''ll sort that out next week.> So I thought I might circumvent it thusly: > > > service { "NSClientpp": > ensure => running, > restart => ''c:/program files/nsclient++/scripts/restart.bat'', > subscribe => File["c:/program files/nsclient++/nsc.ini"], > } > > and restart.bat is very simple: > > sc stop nsclientpp > perl -e "sleep 10" > sc start nsclientpp > echo ran >> c:\restart.txt > > it has world read and execute permissions, so it should run, but restart.txt doesn''t get created and the service still won''t start on its own. > > My question is whether I am doing something wrong or is this is a bug?The windows service provider doesn''t currently support overriding the `restart` method. We should either call that out in the provider documentation or add the ability to override it.

I modified the windows.rb and it seems to work well now. Many thanks!
