Puppet

Hi –

I have puppet manifest which manage init scripts. When running in stand-alone mode (& perhaps in client/server mode), I have trouble with the following manifest:

file {
  "/tmp/init.d" :
    ensure => directory;
  "/tmp/init.d/test" :
    mode   => "0755",
    content  => "#!/bin/sh
case \"\$1\" in
    start)
        exit 0
        ;;
    stop)
        exit 0
        ;;
    restart)
        exit 0
        ;;
    status)
        exit 3
        ;;
    *)
        echo \"Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|status}\"
        exit 1
        ;;
esac";
}

service { "test" :
  ensure    => "running",
  provider  => "init",
  path      => "/tmp/init.d",
  require   => File[ "/tmp/init.d/test" ],
  hasstatus => true;
}

#exec { "test" :
#  command => "/usr/bin/test -f /tmp/init.d/test",
#  require => File[ "/tmp/init.d/test" ];
#}

Although I would expect this to create the /tmp/init.d directory, then the /tmp/init.d/test file, and finally start the service, it seems to try to start the service before it creates the /tmp/init.d/test file:

If it is run again, it works:

$ /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/puppet --trace --verbose --debug test.pp

notice: //Service[test]/ensure: ensure changed 'stopped' to 'running'
debug: Finishing transaction 69849004850100 with 1 changes

The Exec[test] works as expected, running after the file is created.

I cannot see anything wrong with my manifest, so I think this may be a bug.

Thank you for any help you can provide!
