Do you need to add a hasstatus parameter? Perhaps your other init
scripts were working due to process table lookups?
------------------------------
http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/TypeReference#service
hasstatus
Declare the the service's init script has a functional status command.
Based on testing, it was found that a large number of init scripts on
different platforms do not support any kind of status command; thus,
you must specify manually whether the service you are running has such
a command (or you can specify a specific command using the status
parameter).
If you do not specify anything, then the service name will be looked
for in the process table. Valid values are true, false.
