So I played around a bit more with this and it seems to be happening for all of the services in my playbook. Is it possible this is a bug? All works fine the first time through, but once Ansible starts a service, it never looks at it again unless you call Restart or Stop. It seems it would be good to have it make sure the service is actually running.
Can anyone verify they're seeing the same thing?
