OK, I filed a bug PUP-4540 <https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-4540>. The short of it is, apparenlty Puppet apparently incorrectly detects *some *services (like mysql and cups) as Upstart services, and tries to manage them using the Upstart commands (/sbin/{start,stop,restart,reload,status}) -- but detects other services (e.g. apache2) normally, and manages them correctly, using the old-style init commands ('service mysql restart' and somesuch).
This is the case on Ubuntu Vivid and the stock Puppet that ships with it, 3.7.2. Ubuntu Trusty works fine. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
