I have a custom upstart service which I'm trying to automate via Chef. The chef flow is like this: - Create /etc/init/myservice.conf, notify restart myservice (if conf file changes) - Start myservice
The Chef service restart is actually carried out as /sbin/stop
and /sbin/start
So, if my service isn't already running, the restart fails saying that /sbin/stop myservice returned 1
Is there a way I can return 0 on /sbin/stop myservice
if the service is already in a stopped state?
