Are there any examples of how something like this would work? Can't seem to grasp it from documentation, how I could creat a tag like "apache_broken" and apply that to something that would force a restart of the service. The issue is, "ensure" is not adequate, since the service could appear to be running but is actually failing... Thanks for the hint. -Alan
