Puppet users - Sep 2008 - Ensuring a process is NOT running

Hi,

here is an interesting problem. I don''t want to remove sendmail from a
system, BUT, it should never be running unless an admin starts it (and
shuts it down) so I was wondering if there might be a way to use
"ensure" to make sure a process is NOT running..

Any ideas?

thanks

You can use ensure => stopped to ensure it is not running.

service{''sendmail'':
	ensure => stopped,
	enable => false,
}
