quickservice

A util cookbook which allows quick service management. This cookbook simply wraps the service resource to allow for custom service name and service action attributes to be passed into a recipe to quickly allow restarting, starting, or stopping of a service.

This cookbook was made as a lot of package cookbooks do not come with proper service management (I am looking at you HHVM).

Installation

Berksfile: cookbook 'quickservice', git: 'git@github.com:jshthornton/chef-quickservice.git'

Usage

Just run the quickservice::default / quickservice recipe. In AWS OpsWorks that is done via execute_recipes.

This cookbook supports two attributes:

quickservice.service and quickservice.action

Example:

{
  "quickservice": {
    "service": "hhvm",
    "action": "restart"
  }
}

This would tell quickservice to restart hhvm.

Future

In the future I might allow an array of services to restart. But that will come as needed. If you need it just fork and add.
