I''ve got a host here where I am trying to ensure that syslog-ng is
running, and not surprisingly that syslog is NOT running.
My manifest has...
class syslog_ng {
package { "syslog-ng":
name => "syslog-ng",
ensure => installed;
}
service { "syslog":
ensure => stopped,
enable => false;
}
service { "syslog-ng" :
ensure => running,
enable => true,
subscribe => [
Package["syslog-ng"],
File["/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf"]
];
}
....
The following is appearing in the message log...
Oct 15 10:10:01 gumby puppetd[3788]: Starting catalog run
Oct 15 10:10:02 gumby syslog-ng[3675]: Termination requested via
signal, terminating;
Oct 15 10:10:02 gumby syslog-ng[3675]: syslog-ng shutting down;
version=''2.1.4''
Oct 15 10:10:03 gumby syslog-ng[4091]: syslog-ng starting up;
version=''2.1.4''
Oct 15 10:10:03 gumby puppetd[3788]:
(//Node[test_node]/syslog_ng/Service[syslog-ng]/ensure) ensure changed
''stopped'' to ''running''
It seems to me like there might be a bug here. Puppet appears to think
the syslog-ng and syslog service are the same thing and stops
syslog-ng instead of syslog.
If I change the name of the syslog service, like this...
service { "XXXsyslog":
ensure => stopped,
enable => false;
}
then puppet does NOT stop syslog-ng. Is it doing a regex search on the
first part of the service name or something and stopping when it gets
a match?
Doug.

What you want to do is use "hasstatus => true" after making sure that "service syslog status" returns a correct exit status (i.e. zero only when the service is actually running).

there is also a param for service called "pattern" that allows you to specify the regex that should be used to determine the process (in case one of them doesnt properly implement status) On Thu, Oct 15, 2009 at 8:53 PM, Matthias Saou < thias@spam.spam.spam.spam.spam.spam.spam.egg.and.spam.freshrpms.net> wrote:> > Douglas Garstang <doug.garstang@gmail.com> wrote: > > [...] > > It seems to me like there might be a bug here.

Try specifying hasstatus => true or a pattern.> On Thu, Oct 15, 2009 at 8:53 PM, Matthias Saou <thias@spam.spam.spam.spam.spam.spam.spam.egg.and.spam.freshrpms.net > > wrote: > > Douglas Garstang <doug.garstang@gmail.com> wrote: > > [...] > > It seems to me like there might be a bug here.
