I am trying to determine if iptables/firewalld is running or not.  If the 
service/daemon is not running, I want to leave it that way.  Otherwise, I 
would like to bounce it.  Below is my attempt to perform this.  If there is 
another/better way to do what I am trying to do, I am open to learn.  :)

In vars...
net_lst6:
   - { portnum: "135", inetprot: "tcp" }
   - { portnum: "137:138", inetprot: "udp" }
   - { portnum: "139", inetprot: "tcp" }
   - { portnum: "445", inetprot: "tcp" }

In tasks....
 - name: check iptables status
   command: 'service iptables status | grep -i "not" | wc -l'
   when: ansible_distribution_major_version == "6"
   register: service_status

 - name: setup iptables
   iptables:
      chain: INPUT
      protocol: "{{item.inetprot}}"
      state: present
      destination_port: "{{item.portnum}}"
   when:  ( "ansible_distribution_major_version" == "6" ) and ( 
"service_status" != "1" )
   with_items: "{{net_lst6}}"
   notify: restart iptables

I am getting the error below.
TASK [test : check iptables status] ********************************
fatal: [server1]: FAILED! => {"changed": true, "cmd": ["service", 
"iptables", "status", "|", "grep", "-i", "not", "|", "wc", "-l"], "delta":

"rc": 3, "start": "2016-04-22 08:51:36.800338", "stderr": "", "stdout": 
"iptables: Firewall is not running.", "stdout_lines": ["iptables: Firewall 
is not running."], "warnings": ["Consider using service module rather than 
running service"]}

Help.

Thank you in advance.

J
