openwrt_init - Manage services on OpenWrt.

New in version 2.3.

Synopsis

  • Controls OpenWrt services on remote hosts.

Requirements (on host that executes module)

  • An OpenWrt system (with python)

Options

parameter required default choices comments
enabled
 no
  • yes
  • no
Whether the service should start on boot. At least one of state and enabled are required.
name
 yes
Name of the service.

aliases: service
pattern
 no
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
 no
  • 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.

Examples

# Example action to start service httpd, if not running
- openwrt_init:
    state: started
    name: httpd

# Example action to stop service cron, if running
- openwrt_init:
    name: cron
    state: stopped

# Example action to reload service httpd, in all cases
- openwrt_init:
    name: httpd
    state: reloaded

# Example action to enable service httpd
- openwrt_init:
    name: httpd
    enabled: yes

Notes

Note

  • One option other than name is required.
