Hey Ghislain! > Right now until this particular push of new code all was working as > intended for us, but this code was added in the service sysV init provider > a check of systemD in the sysvinit part.

Namely, as you mentioned, init script return values are inconsistent in Debian 8 / Ubuntu 15.04 and are not consistent with systemd's status reports. This fix works fine on standard installations which include systemd, and brings some consistency between systemd and init. However, the use case of a system which has had systemd removed or otherwise not present was not considered when originally making this change.

I fired up a Debian 8 box and followed the steps at http://without-systemd.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_remove_systemd_from_a_Debian_jessie/sid_installation to purge systemd and make sysvinit the main unit, and everything looked to be working correctly from puppet's perspective. Feel free to leave comments on the pull request or ticket. Hopefully this minor change will be everything required to get you back up and running. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
