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

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.

Note

This operation also inherits all global arguments.
