Set Service to delayed start on windows upon restart

[Raghu Ram Baisani]

Hi Team

I want to set the service to use delayed start when ever I did a restart of the windows machine.

I thought to use service puppet resource,

When I look at the options available for the property enable, I found 

• true -> this means enable the service
• false -> this means disable the service
• manual -> the service has to be enabled manually
• mask -> What does this mean?

What is the value and attribute to provide the option of delayed start of the service?

Is it possible to use delayed start of the service which is a windows service property.

Any kind help is appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Raghuram,

Delayed start for Windows services has been available since Puppet 6.10.1 (https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-6382). If you're on a supported version setting `enable => delayed` on the service should work.

Relevant documentation: https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/7.6/types/service.html#service-attribute-enable

Mask is a value that only takes effect when the service provider is systemd, and corresponds to the `systemctl mask` functionality: https://fedoramagazine.org/systemd-masking-units/

Hope this helps,

Gabi
