Dears,
I have a doubt, I new verify if exist a service on systemd with playbook.

My part code:

  • name: Stop service puppet-agent
    service:
    name: puppet
    state: stopped
    enabled: no

How Can I verify if existe puppet-agent on systemd, if exists I need to disable service, if no, I would like to pass for next configuration. Any suggestion?

Hi,

Check out service_facts module:

Or another approach is you can register the output using the register keyword and fetch, and use when condition to do further actions on the basis of that particular output.
