I'm working on a role to manage NTP client setup on target hosts and
am confused about how to handle something. On recent Debian Linux
hosts, systemd is the service manager. I want to run the OpenNTPD
daemon with the "-s" argument, so in the task I add it in the
arguments parameter as shown below:
- name: enable ntp service
service:
name: '{{ ntpd_service_name }}'
enabled: '{{ ntpd_service_enabled }}'
state: '{{ ntpd_service_state }}'
arguments: '{% if ntpd_step_time %}-s{%endif %}'
use: '{{ ntpd_service_mgr }}'
tags: [ntp]
When the task runs it notes that systemd does not use the arguments parameter:
TASK [ntp_client : enable ntp service]
******************************************************************************
[WARNING]: Ignoring "arguments" as it is not used in "systemd"
Indeed:
$ pgrep -a ntpd
10673 /usr/sbin/ntpd -f /etc/openntpd/ntpd.conf
Is there a way for the systemd module to support configuring a service
to use supplied arguments? It's possible to configure it by modifying
DAEMON_OPTS in /etc/default/openntpd using another task, but that
seems wrong when the service module documents the arguments parameter
as handling it.
