As far as I know, the 'pattern' parameter understands only a single
pattern. What you have written probably won't do what you want.

No, you cannot declare Service['a'] (or any other resource) twice.
Your best bet would be to make the service control script /etc/init.d/a
respond to the "status" command in an appropriate way (ideally as specified
by the LSB; see
http://refspecs.freestandards.org/LSB_3.1.1/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/iniscrptact.html),
and leave off the 'pattern' parameter in the service declaration. If you
are running a Puppet version older than 2.7.0 then you will also need to
add "hasstatus => true" to the service parameters.
