I have a custom upstart script that starts, stops, and restarts successfully via initctl but when Ansible attempts the same, it errors with the message “unrecognized service”. I’ve seen [https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/2183](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/2183) which indicates that the issue is fixed, but it’s still happening to me. Here’s my upstart script in its entirety, /etc/init/nginx-log-monitor.conf: description “Nginx error log monitor” start on runlevel [345] stop on runlevel [6] exec /usr/local/bin/logmonitor.sh /var/log/nginx/error.log ‘[crit|error’ ‘me@domain.com’ And the error from Ansible: NOTIFIED: [nginx\_base | restart nginx log monitor] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* failed: [[web.domain.com](http://web.domain.com)] =\> {“failed”: true} msg: nginx-log-monitor: unrecognized service nginx-log-monitor: unrecognized service Is there something wrong with my upstart script? ---
