There are a couple of things you could do here. If your service appears to
be running but isn't, you might just want to write an init script that does
a better job of determing the status. You could also specify a command to
run to verify status with the 'status' option[1] for the service type, eg
you could run whatever check your monitoring system runs locally.
Failing that, you could do something like this:
class apache {
# do your normal apache things
# including starting the service:
service { "apache": ensure => 'running' }
}
class apache::forcerestart inherits apache {
exec { "killall -9 httpd":
before => Service["apache"],
}
}
then from puppetrun you could just do:
puppetrun -t apache::forcerestart <host where apache is not running
correctly>
If there were any other common fixes for why the service might all of the
sudden stop working you could impliment them in the apache::forcerestart
class.
