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
started/stopped are idempotent actions that will not run commands unless necessary. restarted will always bounce the service. reloaded will always reload.
