[Puppet Users] sysv init scripts when using gem to install
I am using ruby-enterprise for ruby packages and gem for puppet/facter
installation and I ''borrowed'' the ubuntu sysv init scripts and
they mostly work but for some reason, it won''t stop the service as
written but it will start.
For example, the ''puppet'' script (obviously for puppetd) has
the following...
stop_puppet() {
start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --pidfile $PIDFILE
}
# /etc/init.d/puppet restart
* Restarting puppet configuration management tool
Could not prepare for execution: Could not create PID file:
/var/run/puppet/agent.pid
[ OK ]
Now the file does exist and apparently doesn''t get deleted and the
process is not killed as a result of that command and if I substitute
''killall puppetd'' for the
''start-stop-daemon'' command, it does actually work but it
seems so inelegant and potentially a problem. The same sort of thing occurs with
the puppetmaster sysv initscript and I''ve spent too much time with no
better answer than substituting the ''killall
puppetd|puppetmaster'' and suspect that maybe the problem is that I have
so little familiarity with ubuntu/debian and their sysv implementation.
Anyone have a better suggestion than ''killall
puppetd|puppetmaster'' for the ''stop'' process?

Re: [Puppet Users] sysv init scripts when using gem to install
Sorry, I am bad. I should have posted the solution to the list. It seems that the puppet gem is hard coded to use /var/lib/puppet/run/agent.pid (I still haven''t bothered to check the source code). For puppetd, I simply had to change the PID file location to hard coded location. I haven''t tracked down the issue with puppetmasterd sysv script yet (still using the killall puppetmasterd to stop it) and when I get a few minutes, I''ll figure it out but I suspect that the same issue is at play.
