Enterprise Linux puppet-server-3.7.4-1.el7.noarch doesn't include the init script

[Bryan Arenal]

Hi,

I just installed puppet and puppet-server on my CentOS 7 puppet master
system but I noticed that there's no init script included (and none
gets created). The following doc says there should be one at least
and one was included on a different ubuntu vm I'd tested on earlier:

https://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/install_puppet/install_el.html#step-3-install-puppet-on-the-puppet-master-server

# rpm -qa |grep puppet
puppet-3.7.4-1.el7.noarch
puppetlabs-release-7-11.noarch
puppet-server-3.7.4-1.el7.noarch

# for i in `rpm -qa |grep puppet` ; do rpm -ql ${i} |grep ^\/etc ; done
/etc/NetworkManager
/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d
/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/98-puppet
/etc/logrotate.d/puppet
/etc/puppet
/etc/puppet/auth.conf
/etc/puppet/modules
/etc/puppet/puppet.conf
/etc/tmpfiles.d/puppet.conf
/etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-nightly-puppetlabs
/etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-puppetlabs
/etc/yum.repos.d/puppetlabs.repo
/etc/puppet/environments
/etc/puppet/environments/example_env
/etc/puppet/environments/example_env/README.environment
/etc/puppet/environments/example_env/manifests
/etc/puppet/environments/example_env/modules
/etc/puppet/fileserver.conf
/etc/puppet/manifests

# ls /etc/init.d/
functions iprdump* iprinit* iprupdate* netconsole* network* README

# find /etc/rc*.d -iname "*puppet*"
(nothing returned)

On my ubuntu test box, I have:

# ls /etc/init.d/puppet*
/etc/init.d/puppet* /etc/init.d/puppetmaster* /etc/init.d/puppetqd*

Should there be one for the EL7 RPM?

Cheers

Bryan,
EL7 has systemd, so we ship systemd service files for puppet and
puppet-server. `service puppet status` should still work, it just
redirects to systemctl under the hood.

rpm -qplv http://yum.puppetlabs.com/el/7/products/x86_64/puppet-3.7.4-1.el7.noarch.rpm
| grep service
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 306 Jan 26 15:46
/usr/lib/systemd/system/puppet.service

rpm -qplv http://yum.puppetlabs.com/el/7/products/x86_64/puppet-server-3.7.4-1.el7.noarch.rpm
| grep service
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 255 Jan 26 15:46
/usr/lib/systemd/system/puppetmaster.service

Hope that helps.

I feel like an old man not being familiar with these new-fangled init script methods the kids are using these days.  I guess I've got to get with the times... :)

Thanks, Matthaus!
