puppet is trying to use systemd to start my service rather than the command that I specified

This used to work on our old (2.7) puppet system but when I moved the code over to 4.x it does not anymore. My code is included in with a lot of other stuff that I don't control including all the default set up for OS etc. I suspect that something is being set somewhere that is telling puppet to always use systemd as the provider for Ubuntu systems.

    service {
  "argus.$sensor":
    start   => "/home/sensors/bin/run-service argus  $sensor start", 
    restart => "/home/sensors/bin/run-service argus  $sensor restart",
    stop    => "/home/sensors/bin/run-service argus  $sensor stop",
    status  => "/home/sensors/bin/run-service argus  $sensor status",
    ensure  => running;
}

We are trying to figure out what would cause this.

I believe if you explicitly set your provider, it should respect that. Usually when using the start/restart/stop/status commands, you should use the 'base' provider https://docs.puppet.com/puppet/latest/types/service.html#service-provider-base
