service
=========
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/robertdebock/ansible-role-service.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/robertdebock/ansible-role-service)
Add custom services to your Linux system.
Example Playbook
----------------
This example is taken from `molecule/default/playbook.yml`:
```yaml
---
- name: Converge
hosts: all
become: yes
gather_facts: yes
roles:
- robertdebock.service
```
The machine you are running this on, may need to be prepared. Tests have been done on machines prepared by this playbook:
```yaml
---
- name: Prepare
hosts: all
gather_facts: no
become: yes
serial: 30%
vars:
service_list:
- name: simple-service
description: Simple Service
start_command: /usr/bin/sleep 3600
- name: forking-service
description: Forking Service
type: forking
start_command: "/usr/bin/sleep 7200 &"
- name: specific-stop-service
description: Specific Stop Service
start_command: /usr/bin/sleep 14400
stop_command: killall -f "sleep 1440"
- name: specific-user-group-service
description: Specific User Group Service
start_command: /usr/bin/sleep 28800
user_name: root
group_name: root
- name: specific-workingdirectory-service
description: Specific WorkingDirectory Service
start_command: /usr/bin/sleep 57600
working_directory: /tmp
- name: specific-pattern-service
description: Specific Status Pattern Service
start_command: /usr/bin/sleep 115200
status_pattern: 115200
roles:
- role: robertdebock.bootstrap
```

Role Variables
--------------
These variables are set in `defaults/main.yml`:
```yaml
---
# defaults file for service
# status_list can contain a list of services to add to the system.
# The mandatory items for each item are:
# - name: The (short) name of the service, i.e. "tomcat".
# - description: A bit longer name, i.e. "Tomcat application server".
# - start_command: The command to start the daemon,
# i.e. "/usr/local/bin/java -jar some.jar"
# The optional items are:
# - stop_command: By default the program that is started is found and stopped.
# in case a running program is renamed or expanded (including a path) during
# startup, you can specify a custom stop command here, i.e. "pkill foo"
# - status_pattern: What program (or pattern) to look for when finding the
# status of a program, i.e. "artifactory".
# - type: How the program starts; "simple" or "forking". Simple means the
# program runs on the foreground, i.e. "nc -l 1234". Forking means the
# program itself forks, i.e. "nc -l 12345 &"
# - working_directory: The directory to cd into before starting the service.
```
