The conf/redhat/client.init script (installed in /etc/init.d) in 0.24.6
has this "status" method:
status)
status -p "$pidfile" $puppetd
RETVAL=$?
;;
Unfortunately the '-p "$pidfile"' option is available in Red Hat Server
5 but not earlier versions, where it produces an error:
$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 7)
$ /etc/init.d/puppet status
pidof: invalid options on command line!
pidof: invalid options on command line!
-p is stopped
$
We were using a standard cron job "/etc/init.d/puppet status ||
/etc/init.d/puppet restart" on our hosts to ensure Puppet stayed
running; now it restarts Puppet every time the cron job runs (until I
changed the cron job to use a different check for the existence of
puppetd).
