Services
Service modules manage long-running operations. OS services for all Linux/Unix platforms are definitely a good fit for this category, but other service management systems (such as supervisord) could also be relevant for future module additions.
Module | Description |
|---|---|
systemd-based service management for nearly all Linux distributions |
Manages services for operating systems that use systemd.
tasks:
- !sd_service
service: redis
started: true
enabled: true
- !sd_service
service: nginx
started: false
enabled: false
- !sd_service
service: httpd
enabled: true
restart: true
"enabled", "started", and "restart" are all optional parameters.
The restart flag will be mostly used with handlers to restart services when configuration files change, this is described in the Play documentation.

started | Boolean. Whether the service should be started or not. Omission implies this property is not managed. |
