[Puppet Users] Puppet watching puppet

[Jim Pirzyk]

I have this recipe setup to maintain puppetd:

service { "puppet":
        name => $operatingsystem ? {
                Fedora => "puppet",
                CentOS => "puppet",
                Solaris => $kernelrelease ? {
                        "5.10" => "svc:/network/puppetd:default",
                        default => puppetd,
                },
                default => "puppetd",
        },
        ensure => running,
        enable => true,
        hasstatus => true,
        require => [ File["puppet.conf"], Service[network] ],
        subscribe => File["puppet.conf"],
}


Running 'service puppet status' reports:

puppetd is stopped



I am running puppet 0.24.8 and facter 1.5.4

Ideas?

(*)/ (*) I'd rather be out biking.

If I shut down puppetd on a host (using a Fedora Core 9 host for testing, but has the same problem on Solaris, CentOS and FreeBSD, when I run 'puppetd --test', it does not notice to restart puppet. I can add a 'pattern' parameter, but I though since hasstatus is set, that 'service puppet status' should be called instead of doing 'ps - ef|grep puppet'?
