Upstart Operations

Manage upstart services.

Facts used in these operations: upstart.UpstartStatus.

upstart.service

Manage the state of upstart managed services.

upstart.service(
    service: str, running=True, restarted=False, reloaded=False, command: str | None=None,
    enabled: bool | None=None, **kwargs,
)

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

ling/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. Note:

This operation also inherits all global arguments.
