Puppet users - Apr 2008 - Trying to stop/start services in a specific order

Hi everyone,

I''ve got a silly application that has some crazy requirements in terms
of its startup/shutdown sequence and I''m trying to get it worked out
with puppet. Basically, I need to do the following things any time a
newer package is installed (via yum provider):

1. stop app1
2. stop app2
3. init app1
4. start app1
5. start app2

The example below shows my failure to comprehend how this is possible:

class myclass {

        package { app1:
                ensure => latest,
                notify => [ Service[app1], Service[app2] ]
        }

        package { ''app2'':
                ensure => latest,
        }

        service { app1:
                ensure => running,
                hasstatus => false,
                start => ''/etc/init.d/app1 init; /etc/init.d/app1
start'',
                require => Package[app1],
        }

        service { app2:
                ensure => running,
                require => Service[app1] ,
        }

}

This is unfortunately basically impossible at the moment.  I''m  
actually not even sure what it would take to make it work, but I''d  
love to see a way to support it.

I settled on handling things at the init script level and using a
refreshonly inside of an exec in order to get the desired effect.

Thanks,
