Description

In 4.1, we removed the check that cf-execd was running at least/at most a number of time because it used to cause problems with containers.

But we now don't check anymore that the rudder service is running at all, so it means that if cf-execd is stopped (for example, because the rudder service is not started at boot), it is never restarted.

Rudder agent will still run because of /etc/cron.d/rudder-agent, but rudder agent health will report problems (no outputs stored in CFEngine output directory), and probes checking for cf-execd status will be in error.

Finally, we need to check that rudder (and not cf-execd) service is running to well behave with systemd.

A workaround can be to create a technique "ensure service running" for rudder service and deploy it everywhere.

This is even worsen in the case where agent schedule is NOT 5 minutes, because the cron actually runs every 5 minutes. Before that bug, it would means that we add at most one run too many. Not anymore.

The script currently runs cf-agent without parameters.

We need to run "rudder agent stop" then "rudder agent start"
