Re: [Puppet Users] how to force tomcat restart using puppet kick and service type ?

[Felix Frank]

Hi,

good question. The module's documentation does not readily offer a way to cleanly restart a service.

However, looking at the source, it quickly becomes clear that tomcat::service does in fact wrap a service resource.

https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-tomcat/blob/master/manifests/service.pp#L126-134

The nature of this resource depends on the parameters, apparently. But most (if not all) service providers will initiate a restart of the service if the resource receives a signal. You can enforce this by adding, say, a notify resource to your manifest.

notify { 'restarting tomcat': notify => Tomcat::Service['default'] }

A little confusing I guess - the notify type is not designed to enforce events. It actually notifies you with the given message ('restarting tomcat'). But since this is a sync action, it will also send an event to the service, thanks to the notify parameter.

HTH,
Felix

     I'm using the puppetlab-tomcat module.when i want to start tomcat ,i will kick the agent to run this code.

tomcat::service{'default':

      service_ensure => true,

      catalina_base  =>'/opt/apache-tomcat/tomcat',

}

     if i want to stop,i will change the service_ensure to false.

     but if i want to restart tomcat in one .pp file, just run kick command only once, i have to define two service because service name can't be duplicate declared. so i change the code:

tomcat::service{'default':

      service_ensure => false,

      catalina_base  =>'/opt/apache-tomcat/tomcat',

}

->

tomcat::service{'restart':

      service_ensure => true,

      catalina_base  =>'/opt/apache-tomcat/tomcat',

}

    after i using this code, i find i can't stop tomcat using this code

tomcat::service{'default':

      service_ensure => false,

      catalina_base  =>'/opt/apache-tomcat/tomcat',

}

     because the service named restart is running, not default, so i can't stop the tomcat service. so i want to know how to restart tomcat  just using only one kick command.
