Is there any nice way to do disable and stop a service, but only if it's installed on server? Something like this:
- service: name={{ item }} enabled=no state=stopped only_if_present=yes
with_items:
- avahi-daemon
- abrtd
- abrt-ccpp
Note that "only_if_present" is a keyword that doesn't exist right now in Ansible, but I suppose my goal is obvious.
I don't know what is the package name in your case, but you can do something similar to this:
- shell: dpkg-query -W 'avahi'
ignore_errors: True
register: is_avahi
when: ansible_distribution == 'Debian' or ansible_distribution == 'Ubuntu'
- shell: rpm -q 'avahi'
ignore_errors: True
register: is__avahi
when: ansible_distribution == 'CentOS' or ansible_distribution == 'Red Hat Enterprise Linux'
- service: name=avahi-daemon enabled=no state=stopped
when: is_avahi|failed
Update: I have added conditions so that the playbook works when you have multiple different distros, you might need to adapt it to fit your requirements.
