EXPORTED FUNCTIONS

29   service($service, $action, [$option])
30       The service function accepts 2 parameters. The first is the service
31       name and the second the action you want to perform.
32
33       starting a service
34            task "start-service", "server01", sub {
35              service apache2 => "start";
36            };
37
38       stopping a service
39            task "stop-service", "server01", sub {
40              service apache2 => "stop";
41            };
42
43       restarting a service
44            task "restart-service", "server01", sub {
45              service apache2 => "restart";
46            };
47
48       checking status of a service
49            task "status-service", "server01", sub {
50              if( service apache2 => "status" ) {
51                say "Apache2 is running";
52              }
53              else {
54                say "Apache2 is not running";
55              }
56            };
57
58       reloading a service
59            task "reload-service", "server01", sub {
60              service apache2 => "reload";
61            };
62
63       ensure that a service will started at boot time
64            task "prepare", sub {
65              service "apache2",
66                ensure => "started";
67            };
68
69       ensure that a service will NOT be started.
70            task "prepare", sub {
71              service "apache2",
72                ensure => "stopped";
73            };
74
75           If you need to define a custom command for start, stop, restart,
76           reload or status you can do this with the corresponding options.
77
78            task "prepare", sub {
79              service "apache2",
80                ensure  => "started",
81                start   => "/usr/local/bin/httpd -f /etc/my/httpd.conf",
82                stop    => "killall httpd",
83                status  => "ps -efww | grep httpd",
84                restart => "killall httpd && /usr/local/bin/httpd -f /etc/my/httpd.conf",
85                reload  => "killall httpd && /usr/local/bin/httpd -f /etc/my/httpd.conf";
86            };
87
88           This function supports the following hooks:
89
90           before_${action}
91               For example: "before_start", "before_stop", "before_restart"
92
93               This gets executed right before the given service action. All
94               original parameters are passed to it.
95
96           after_${action}
97               For example: "after_start", "after_stop", "after_restart"
98
99               This gets executed right after the given service action. All
100               original parameters, and any returned results are passed to it.
101
102   service_provider_for $os => $type;
103       To set another service provider as the default, use this function.
104
105        user "root";
106
107        group "db" => "db[01..10]";
108        service_provider_for SunOS => "svcadm";
109
110        task "start", group => "db", sub {
111           service ssh => "restart";
112        };
113
114       This example will restart the ssh service via svcadm (but only on
115       SunOS, on other operating systems it will use the default).
