That was what I was missing; instantiation. Thanks. :) > If puppet needs to get a list of all jobs running on the system, > including instantiated jobs, it should use the 'initctl list' > interface. It does, but I think something is off inside puppet's guts. As far as I can see in the source (ruby code at https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/master/lib/puppet/provider/service/upstart.rb#L47) it does "initctl list", and picks the first word of each line, unless the service in question is "network-interface" or "network-interface-security". It looks like puppet does not handle instances in a generic way, but special cases it for "network-interface" and "network-interface-security", and then hardcoded with INTERFACE=foo and JOB=bar. It looks like the instance variable name differs between services, so if my assumption is correct, I wonder what would be the "generic" way of enumerating services the correct way would be to find this variable for all instanciated services. -- Stig Sandbeck Mathisen -- 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
