Not being particularly familiar with puppet's internals, I don't know if the above is wrong per se. But startpar-bridge (and other jobs present on Ubuntu by default, such as network-interface and network-interface-security) are instantiated jobs; calling 'status network-interface' without specifying a network interface is not meaningful, and any errors returned from 'status' about 'unknown parameter' or 'unknown instance' should not be treated as failures by puppet. If puppet needs to get a list of all jobs running on the system, including instantiated jobs, it should use the 'initctl list' interface. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to puppet in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1276766 Title: 'status startpar-bridge' fails with 'status: Unknown parameter: JOB' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/puppet/+bug/1276766/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
