Upstart Operations

Manage upstart services.

Facts used in these operations: upstart.UpstartStatus.

upstart.service

Manage the state of upstart managed services.

upstart.service(service, running=True, restarted=False, reloaded=False, command=None, enabled=None)

• service: name of the service to manage
• running: whether the service should be running
• restarted: whether the service should be restarted
• reloaded: whether the service should be reloaded
• command: custom command to pass like: /etc/rc.d/<service> <command>
• enabled: whether this service should be enabled/disabled on boot

Enabling/disabling services:

Upstart jobs define runlevels in their config files - as such there is no way to edit/list these without fiddling with the config. So pyinfra simply manages the existence of a /etc/init/<service>.override file, and sets its content to “manual” to disable automatic start of services.
