Ok, thanks Daniel, I'll refine the service stopping script to check for 
service stopped status before it completes.

Thanks for the help!

Depends on how this LWRP works. If there’s some external script that gets 
run, you could modify it to wait for everything to be fully stopped. 
Alternatively, you could poll for some condition (in ruby code) that tells 
you it’s safe to proceed.
