To install:

• Copy script to /etc/init.d/dashboard-workers
• puppet resource service dashboard-workers enable=true ensure=running

Please accept my apology for the ghastly hack on status; delayed_job doesn't give a helpful exit status.

Better yet, please improve the script. :)

Well, huh. The Puppet Labs APT repo .deb for puppet-dashboard includes an init.d script, but it doesn't end up deployed on my systems. Investigating…
