Hi,

My Puppet dashboard shows errors on nodes that want to upgrade from
2.6.7 to 2.7.0.

Package[puppet] (/etc/puppet/production/modules/puppet/manifests/init.pp:24)
Property Message

When I check the local machine the gem was installed, but the service
is not restarted so 2.7.0 is not being used.

I have a cron job setup that reloads the deamon process once a week,
but would like to use 2.7.0 right after upgrade.
