After installing a package from the ports collection on a
fresh FreeBSD 11.0, Ansible was unable to enable it, failing with
"unable to get current rcvar value". Debugging showed that sysrc
didn't see the variable from /usr/local/etc/rc.d/myservice, but
adding the value was working.
So we will just fallback to the default value if we can't find it.
sysrc(8) does not exit with non-zero status when encountering a
permission error.
By using service(8) `service <name> enabled`, we now check the actual
semantics expressed through calling sysrc(8), i.e. we check if the
service enablement worked from the rc(8) system's perspective.
Note that in case service(8) detects the wrong value is still set,
we still output the sysrc(8) output in the fail_json() call:
the user can derive the exact reason of failure from sysrc(8) output.
* service module: use sysrc on FreeBSD
sysrc(8) is the designated userland program to edit rc files on FreeBSD.
It first appeared in FreeBSD 9.2, hence is available on all supported
versions of FreeBSD.
Side effect: fixes#2664
* Incorporate changes suggested by bcoca.
- Use `get_bin_path` to find sysrc binary.
- Only use sysrc when available (support for legacy versions of FreeBSD)
This adds a must_exist option to the service module, which gives callers the
ability to be tolerant to services that do not exist. This allows for
opportunistic manipulation of a list of services if they happen to exist on the
host. While failed_when could be used, it's difficult to track all the
different error strings that might come from various service tools regarding a
missing service.
