openwrt_init - Manage services on OpenWrt.

New in version 2.3.

Synopsis

  • Controls OpenWrt services on remote hosts.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

  • An OpenWrt system (with python)

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
enabled
    Choices:
  • yes
  • no
Default:
None
Whether the service should start on boot. At least one of state and enabled are required.
name
required
Name of the service.

aliases: service
pattern
If the service does not respond to the 'running' command, name a substring to look for as would be found in the output of the ps command as a stand-in for a 'running' result. If the string is found, the service will be assumed to be running.
state
    Choices:
  • started
  • stopped
  • restarted
  • reloaded
Default:
None
started/stopped are idempotent actions that will not run commands unless necessary. restarted will always bounce the service. reloaded will always reload.

Notes

Note

  • One option other than name is required.
