You are right fixing the status resolved the issue.  Thanks a lot 
for your help.

Recipe ask to reload a service.  chef does no less than 3 status 
calls which all fail with 127 in this case.  chef then decides 
that you reload does not make sense anyways.  There are no logs
indicating any problems.

chef does the same 3 status checks for restart but decides to
restart the service anyways.

The inconsistency is strange to me, and the lack of log output
is a defect, no?
