cdist-type__process(7)
======================
NAME
----
cdist-type__process - Start or stop process
DESCRIPTION
-----------
This cdist type allows you to define the state of a process.
OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
-------------------
state
Either "present" or "absent", defaults to "present"
name
Process name to match on when using pgrep -f -x.
This is useful, if the name starts with a "/",
because the leading slash is stripped away from
the object id by cdist.
stop
Executable to use for stopping the process.
start
Executable to use for starting the process.
EXAMPLES
--------
.. code-block:: sh
# Start if not running
__process /usr/sbin/syslog-ng --state present
# Start if not running with a different binary
__process /usr/sbin/nginx --state present --start "/etc/rc.d/nginx start"
# Stop the process using kill (the type default) - DO NOT USE THIS
__process /usr/sbin/sshd --state absent
# Stop the process using /etc/rc.d/sshd stop - THIS ONE NOT AS WELL
__process /usr/sbin/sshd --state absent --stop "/etc/rc.d/sshd stop"
# Ensure cups is running, which runs with -C ...:
__process cups --start "/etc/rc.d/cups start" --state present \
--name "/usr/sbin/cupsd -C /etc/cups/cupsd.conf"
# Ensure rpc.statd is running (which usually runs with -L) using a regexp
__process rpcstatd --state present --start "/etc/init.d/statd start" \
--name "rpc.statd.*"
