Hi,

When i use service in ansible same this task :

  • name: “stop nginx”
    service:
    name: nginx
    state: stopped

Same with “become: yes” and “pattern: my_pattern_file”

but with line “command: sudo systemctl stop nginx” it’s working !! WHY ?

Thanks you for you answers guy ! :slight_smile:

Run the Ansible command with -vvvv and post the
output.

So,

When I run my playbook with this task :

  • name: “stop nginx”
    service:
    name: nginx
    state: stopped

I have this message :

changed: [edeefreffe] => {“changed”: true, “msg”: “Service nginx not found on host, assuming it will exist on full run”}

but with this command ansible it’s work :

  • name: “Arret du nginx”
    command: sudo systemctl stop nginx

Someone have a answer please ??!

Thanks you very much !! :slight_smile:

And this same task in handler works :

  • name: “stop nginx”
    service:
    name: nginx
    state: stopped

It’s very strange, i think that it’s bug in ansible ?

What happens when you use:

- name: "stop nginx"
systemd:
name: nginx
state: stopped

I see that you are using `systemctl` in the command module but using `service` module in the task. Change it to systemd like above and tell us what happens.

Did you put become_user to root when you try with become: yes ?

What happens when you use:

  • name: “stop nginx”
    systemd:
    name: nginx
    state: stopped

==> It’s the same problem, the message error is :

changed: [edeefreffe] => {“changed”: true, “msg”: “Service nginx not found on host, assuming it will exist on full run”}

Same in specify become or become_user

New probleme:

When i run this task it’s works :

  • name: “stopper nginx”
    systemd:
    name: /my_pattern/nginx
    state: stopped

But there is a warning message:

[WARNING]: The service (my_pattern/nginx) is actually an init script but the system is
managed by systemd

It’s normaly ?

Why did you change

name: nginx

to /my_pattern/nginx

?

Because this task works:

command: /home/…/…/nginx stop

but i want a syntax ansible.

Thx for answer guy !! :slight_smile:
