Ansible "service" module fixes in ansible-7.2.0 and ansible-core-2.14.2

  • 1.  Ansible "service" module fixes in ansible-7.2.0 and ansible-core-2.14.2

    Hey all,

    I just want to share two included fixes in the "service" module in ansible-7.2.0 and ansible-core-2.14.2. In ansible-2.9 the parameters for "sleep" and "arguments" were not processed during a service restart and this is fixed now.

        - name: "Restart sendmail if config file changed"
      service:
        name: sendmail
        sleep: 5                   <--- Works in the new ansible version
        arguments: "-bd -q30m"     <--- Works in the new ansible version
        state: restarted

    bugfixes:
    - service - Fixed service restarts with arguments on AIX.
      (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/76840)
    - service - Fixed handling of sleep arguments during service restarts on AIX.
      (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/76877)

    Thanks to my team for helping to fix this bugs in Ansible!
