Actually I installed another puppet agent and it works on this new
agent...still not on the old agent...very interesting...
I leave init.pp and service.pp untouched, only modify params.pp
from
$service_ensure = 'running'
to
$service_ensure = "${::service_ensure}"
Will continue debugging why it works on one agent but not on the other...
