Is it possible to use a Service resource, but not have puppet start or start the service? I want to declare service resources so that I can easily make sure that puppet will restart them when packages are upgraded, etc., but I do not want puppet to restart them if a sysadmin shuts the down for some reason. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Use the audit meta-parameter. Set it to enable and ensure, or all.
service { "foo":
audit => [''ensure'',''enable''];
}

To my knowledge there isn''t a no-op value for these parameters. Richard -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Just leave the “ensure” parameter out entirely. service { "foo": enable => true, } And then you can either use “subscribe” on the service or “notify” on the packages, config files, etc. (Although I have to think most properly made packages will restart the service for you if needed.) -- Rob McBroom <http://www.skurfer.com/> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
