Huh. I haven't tried on 10.6 at all, but I absolutely had puppetmaster working seamlessly with a pkg install of Passenger on top of the OS X Server apache install. > >> I'm not doing much OS X Server these days, but I wonder if there's any >> hope of getting a decent serveradmin type together for OS X Server >> management.... > > Certainly seems possible.

That would be another option. If you look at the launchd service provider, you'll see it's a mixture of execing out to launchctl and direct plist manipulation, and my gut feeling is that a serveradmin type would end being rather similar. As always with Apple, the devil will be in the details. I can't remember how well behaved serveradmin is these days with properly respecting exit codes and directing output appropriately to stdout/stderr, but I do remember it being rather hellish to script when it first appeared, but a quick scan of my Apple bug queue shows a whole raft of serveradmin issues marked as resolved. Perhaps the other way around is desirable? Whipping up a serveradmin service type for Puppetmaster ? They're not that difficult to reverse engineer, and Apple will even sometimes give you the SDK if you ask nicely.... > > Anyways, I know we'd certainly use a serveradmin provider/type.
