HI Ender,
I believe there can be only one action in handler. Use variables to solve
this. First task in role:
- name: Load the OS specific variables
include_vars: "{{ ansible_os_family }}.yml"
in vars/ have a files:
RedHat.yml
service_name: "barfoo"
Debian.yml
service_name: "barfooinit"
Then in handler:
handlers:
service: name={{ service_name }} state=restarted
New platform means new variable file, no task modifications.
