Almost every service I have defined is set to start when the system boots, but
Puppet won't start it if it's not running. Just leave the “ensure” parameter
out entirely.
service { "foo":
enable => true,
}
And then you can either use “subscribe” on the service or “notify” on the
packages, config files, etc. (Although I have to think most properly made
packages will restart the service for you if needed.)
