Fosiul, You are probably better off using your init or service management system to achieve this. Puppet isn't really designed to run often enough to reliably keep your script running.
I would solve this with a simple systemd service file, using the Restart=always. Use Puppet to install the script and service file and to enable and start the systemd service. I believe that Upstart can automatically restart services as well, but I don't have experience using it that way. It would seem that the real problem is that you are using SysV Init, which cannot automatically restart a service on failure. Frankly Puppet agent runs are too slow and consume too many resources to play watchdog. You could solve this with an exec resource that does command => 'netstat -ltn | grep -qv PORT_NUMBER && SCRIPT' Cheers, Justin On Wed, Aug 28, 2013 at 10:25 AM, Virtual_user <fos...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi > Other then custom facts is not there any other way ?? > Fosiul. > > On Wednesday, August 28, 2013 4:22:43 PM UTC+1, Ygor wrote: >> >> Create a fact that gives you the port status >> >> “Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere >> in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.” >> Bill Waterson (Calvin & Hobbes) >> >> ________________________________ >> From: "Virtual_user" <fos...@gmail.com> >> To: puppet...@googlegroups.com >> >> Sent: Wednesday, August 28, 2013 11:05:07 AM >> Subject: [Puppet Users] Run a script if port is not running >> >> Hi, >> basically i have script and when i run the script its open a port and >> listen on that port. >> >> I know i can use augeas to add entry into /etc/services but i am not using >> xiented . >> >> is there any way to to find out if the port is running or not (10049) >> and if the port is not running then force the script to run ?? >> >> Thanks >> Kind Regards >> >> >> -- >> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups >> "Puppet Users" group. >> To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an >> email to puppet-users...@googlegroups.com. >> To post to this group, send email to puppet...@googlegroups.com. >> >> Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users. >> For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Puppet Users" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to puppet-users+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To post to this group, send email to puppet-users@googlegroups.com. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
