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.
