type: str
required: true
state:
description:
- C(started)/C(stopped) are idempotent actions that will not run
commands unless necessary.
- Launchd does not support C(restarted) nor C(reloaded) natively.
These will trigger a stop/start (restarted) or an unload/load
(reloaded).
- C(restarted) unloads and loads the service before start to ensure
that the latest job definition (plist) is used.
- C(reloaded) unloads and loads the service to ensure that the latest
job definition (plist) is used. Whether a service is started or
stopped depends on the content of the definition file.
type: str
choices: [ reloaded, restarted, started, stopped, unloaded ]
enabled:
description:
- Whether the service should start on boot.
- B(At least one of state and enabled are required.)
type: bool
force_stop:
description:
- Whether the service should not be restarted automatically by launchd.
- Services might have the 'KeepAlive' attribute set to true in a launchd configuration.
In case this is set to true, stopping a service will cause that launchd starts the service again.
- Set this option to C(true) to let this module change the 'KeepAlive' attribute to false.
type: bool
default: false
notes:
- A user must privileged to manage services using this module.
requirements:
- A system managed by launchd
- The plistlib python library
