salt.modules.upstart.status don't work anymore on non-upstart services

[jeanlucmongrain]

Tested on Ubuntu 12.04 with Salt 0.15.1:

prepare the test:

root@integration-2:~# apt-get install postgresql
[snip]
root@integration-2:~# service postgresql status
Running clusters: 9.1/main
root@integration-2:~# salt-call service.status postgresql
local:
    True

good, what we expect.

root@integration-2:~# service postgresql stop
 * Stopping PostgreSQL 9.1 database server                                                                                                                                               [ OK ]
root@integration-2:~# service postgresql status
Running clusters:
root@integration-2:~# salt-call service.status postgresql
[snip]
local:
    True

fail!

this break pretty much all my states for things that use /etc/init.d/ startup script such as, in my case:

• postgresql
• elasticsearch
• rabbitmq
• ntp
• nagios
• denyhosts

and probably more

Thanks for the report. We'll look into it.

I am unable to replicate on 12.04 with the latest code from git:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1818 Oct 26  2011 /etc/init.d/ntp

Do you have the ability to test against git?

I tested this on 12.04 LTS with the most recent official release (0.15.3) and was also not able to reproduce this. I'm going to mark the issue as closed, as it appears to have been fixed between 0.15.1 and 0.15.3.
