gmetad starts automatically with package install

[jamesonjlee]

when you install the package (at least on ubuntu 12.04), it automatically starts the gmetad process, the init script dropped by the recipe makes it impossible to control that original gmetad process from the new init script.

So I just make the package stop the process (if any gets installed) immediately after the install.

alternatives are:

1. use /etc/defaults to control the package installed version starting
2. find the pid file and make the new init script also use it

I don't necessarily object to this in the ganglia cookbook, but you might be interested to learn that The Debian Way(tm) of handling this is to install a script at /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d, the simplest of which always returns a value of 101. This prevents invoke-rc.d, which is used by package maintainers, from starting any services on installation, though it does not prevent them from being enabled to start automatically on boot.

I've been meaning to publish a generic policy-rc.d cookbook, which might wrap this more sophisticated policy-rc.d a former colleague of mine published @ https://github.com/gpapilion/policy-rc.d
