I've added the concept of a 'system service' that expands to whatever standard the local machine supports.
So you could say, in xml, <primitive id="Magic" class="system" type="mysql"> and the cluster would use 'lsb' on RHEL, 'upstart' on Ubuntu and 'systemd' on newer fedora releases.
Handy if you have a mixed cluster.
My question is, what to call it?
'system', 'service', something else?
In other news, the next pacemaker release will support systemd and both it and upstart will use a persistent connection to the DBus API (no more forking!).
The code is currently in
https://github.com/beekhof/pacemaker/tree/lrmd-upstart
for those that want to take a look before then.
