Issue #22999 has been updated by Klaus Wagner. Assignee changed from Klaus Wagner to eric sorenson
To my understanding AIX including latest Versions supports System V sytle init scripts residing at /etc/rc.d/init.d This may not be the preferred version of starting Services in an AIX system. The 'src' provider should still be considered the default provider for type 'service' on AIX. However a number of Software products do not provide src style start methods. As a sample for a product I can provide the IBM 'Netcool Performance Manager' that uses init scripts: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v8r1/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.tnpm.doc%2Finstall%2Fctnpmw_process_checks_aix.html <hr> Reading: Run the following commands as user root: AIX /etc/rc.d/init.d/sapmonvirtuo start /etc/rc.d/init.d/sapmgrvirtuo start Solaris svcadm enable sapmon-na svcadm enable sapmgr-na Linux service sapmonvirtuo start service sapmgrvirtuo start <hr> Currently the 'init' provider is selectable on AIX, but results in an error on execution in the puppet agent, because the init scripts cannot be found in the location '/etc/init.d'. Thus I still consider this issue a bug and hope that this fix will be included in a future puppet release. Can you give an estimated date for 3.5.0 release? Assigning back to you. Best regards, Klaus Wagner ---------------------------------------- Bug #22999: Service Provider 'init' does not detect correct location for script directory on AIX - Patch included https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/22999#change-100250 * Author: Klaus Wagner * Status: Needs More Information * Priority: Normal * Assignee: eric sorenson * Category: provider * Target version: 3.5.0 * Affected Puppet version: development * Keywords: * Branch: master ---------------------------------------- The correct directory for init scripts on aix is '/etc/rc.d/init.d' This has not been implemented in the 'init' service provider.
