[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#579643: puppetdlock doesn't get removed always

[Joerg Herzinger]

Package: puppet
Version: 0.24.8-2ubuntu4
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Im running a small company (60 clients, 15 Servers and VMs) all managed by puppet. My clients are Ubuntu, my Servers mostly lenny, some squeeze. From time to time I find that the lock file isn't removed after a reboot and puppetd doesn't start.
This happens mostly with my clients so I guess its problem with rebooting when puppet is currently running. I would suggest adding something like

if [ -f /var/lib/puppet/state/puppetdlock ] &&  [ `pgrep -cx puppet` -eq "0" ]
then
    rm /var/lib/puppet/state/puppetdlock
fi

to the start daemon part at the init script to delete the lockfile if it exists and puppet is not running.
