[Puppet Users] Refresh not working with launchd service provider?

[David L Ballenger]

Hi,

Refresh doesn't seem to be working with the launched service provider on OS X 
Lion (10.7.4).

I've come up with a simple "service" script, plist file and puppet script to 
apply to demonstrate.  The problem.

Here's the shell script which logs an initial starting message and then just 
loops logging a "Still running…" message.

/usr/local/bin/example.sh:

        #!/bin/sh

        # We need to trap on TERM signals, according to Apple's launchd docs:
        #
        trap 'exit 1' 15

        syslog -s -l 1 example.sh: Starting...

        while true; do
            sleep 15
            syslog -s -l 1 example.sh: Still running...
        done

Here's the launchd plist.

/Library/LaunchDaemons/net.davidlballenger.example.plist:

        <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
        <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"  
         "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";>
        <plist version="1.0">
        <dict>
          <key>KeepAlive</key>
          <true/>
          <key>Label</key>
          <string>net.davidlballenger.example</string>
          <key>ProgramArguments</key>
          <array>
            <string>/usr/local/bin/example.sh</string>
          </array>
        </dict>
        </plist>

Here's the example.pp file:

        $service_name = 'net.davidlballenger.example'
        $file_path = "/var/tmp/${service_name}"

        file { $file_path :
          content => $uptime_seconds ,
        }

        service { $service_name :
          ensure    => running,
          enable    => true,
          subscribe => File[ $file_path ],
        }

The File resource is updated with the facter variable $uptime_seconds each time 
it runs.  And the Service subscribes to the that File resource.

Assuming the script and plist file are in the appropriate places, then applying 
example.pp will start the service if it is not already running.  But subsequent 
runs will not restart it, even though the log messages say that the file's 
content changed and that it triggered a refresh of the service.

If I run the apply with --debug, the only launchctl command that I see in the 
output is a launchctl list command.

Does anyone see anything wrong with the above files, or should I submit a bug 
report.

Thanks - David
