The service module was printing stuff to stderr, returning two
JSON dicts, not using consistent 'failed' values, had dead code
and unused variables. Added detection for the case when service
status returns 'xxx is dead and pid file exists' and made the
code a bit easier to read.
- Added Upstart support
- Added an initial unknown state
- Prevented state changes when the current state is not recognized
- Changed the keyword recognition to a safer method
The ohai and facter modules use /usr/bin/logger to log the fact that
they have been invoked. I added 'import os' to the ping module
so that it could have the same syslog statements as the other modules.
I separated the condensed:
shlex.split(open(argfile, 'r').read())
into two separate statements similar to the other modules.
Checks if update-rc.d (Ubuntu) or chkconfig (RHEL) should be used.
Adds basic bin path search for those binaries
Adds 'enable' and 'disable' options for 'enable' command since it's the
arguments that update-rc.d uses (this might be somewhat confusing to
have a command line with 'enable=enable', but probably mkes sense for
Ubuntu users).
Allows use of mixed case for 'list' and 'state' commands.
When running the service module via sudo, `$PATH` didn't contain `/sbin`,
so the service binary couldn't be found. This just runs `/sbin/service`
directly. Output is spewed to stderr on error.
Added `list=status` to include the output of `service <cmd> status`.
module vs command module for restarting. May be some bugs and requires the service to implement 'status' -- and probably some better error handling (i.e. return JSON with "failed" element if failed).
Improvements welcome.
