OK. Thanks for clarifying that: I am pleased to learn it can be accessed over the network, and isn't just dead code. > Do you think the processes should have any sort of ability to provide status? In some form? It could be useful, if it provided an actual view into the activities of the process, or provided some information that wasn't just a dummy return value to prove that you connected to the service. It might be a good way to export the "process status signalling" that Bryce proposed ages ago, since now you could query that per-process state out of your back-end services and figure out what they were doing. It might also be useful if it was something akin to the Apache status module, giving an overview of more than one process via the network. Meanwhile, I filed #7315 to reflect the bit-rot in JSON rendering of the class that caused me to start searching for users, and led to this ticket. ---------------------------------------- Bug #7123: 'puppet status' is non-functional https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7123 Author: Luke Kanies Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Daniel Pittman Category: Faces Target version: Affected Puppet version: 2.7.0rc1 Keywords: Branch: As far as I can tell it's impossible to get anything but an exception from it. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
