[chef] Re: Re: Point of service resource *_command attrs?

[Steven Danna < >]

Hi,

You might have luck setting the `provider` for the resource to
Chef::Provider::Service::Simple.  You'll need to specify a command for
any action you want.  And, unfortunately, the Simple provider doesn't
have a hook for the enable action, so you would need to change your
action to just :start.  Definitely looks like there is some cleanup to
do in the service provider implementations there.
