I have a service set up with a custom status check, but when I run puppet it ignores my custom status command and runs the standard upstart status check. My service definition is as follows: service { "gamedeploy-${title}": ensure => running, provider => upstart, start => "/sbin/initctl start gamedeploy-${title} GAME=${game} COMPONENT=${title} ENVIRONMENT=${::environment} DELAY=${delay}", stop => "/sbin/initctl stop gamedeploy-${title} COMPONENT=${title}", status => "/sbin/initctl status gamedeploy-${title} COMPONENT=${title}", hasstatus => false, hasrestart => false, require => File["gamedeploy_init_${title}"], } And here's the puppet debug output: Debug: Executing '/sbin/status gamedeploy-frontend' Debug: Executing '/sbin/initctl start gamedeploy-frontend GAME=test COMPONENT=frontend ENVIRONMENT=stage DELAY=5' Error: Could not start Service[gamedeploy-frontend]: Execution of '/sbin/initctl start gamedeploy-frontend GAME=test COMPONENT=frontend ENVIRONMENT=stage DELAY=5' returned 1: Error: /Stage[main]/Deploy/Deploy_service[frontend]/Service[gamedeploy-frontend]/ensure: change from stopped to running failed: Could not start Service[gamedeploy-frontend]: Execution of '/sbin/initctl start gamedeploy-frontend GAME=test COMPONENT=frontend ENVIRONMENT=stage DELAY=5' returned 1: Debug: Executing '/sbin/initctl start gamedeploy-frontend GAME=test COMPONENT=frontend ENVIRONMENT=stage DELAY=5' As you can see, it should be using "/sbin/initctl status gamedeploy-frontend COMPONENT=frontend" as the check, but instead just uses "/sbin/status gamedeploy-frontend". Anyone know why? Thanks, Guy <guy@eastsidegamestudio.com> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
