Puppet

Currently if a Service or Exec receives a notify event, it refreshes.

We need more fine-grained control than this. There are common use cases where you want to specify that the service should be started or stopped instead.

Ideally we want to be able to both specify this at the sender specifically, and at the receiver as a default value, e.g. (not actual proposed syntax at all):

file { "foo.conf":
  notify => Service["foo"].stop,
}

service { "foo":
  notify_action => "reload",
}
