Team,  
Could you please help with caagent start using ansible? our requirement is to start caagent if it is stopped.  
Its not service so we will have to apply a condition like caagent status if it is stopped caagent start.

1: /opt/Arcserve/ABcmagt/caagent status

Checking the Arcserve Backup Universal Agent process… It is STOPPED.

2: /opt/Arcserve/ABcmagt/caagent start

Arcserve Backup Universal Agent started…
