        bool
         | 
      
       
  | 
      
        
        Whether the service should start on boot. At least one of state and enabled are required.

     |
| pattern | 
        
        If the service does not respond to the 'running' command, name a substring to look for as would be found in the output of the ps command as a stand-in for a 'running' result. If the string is found, the service will be assumed to be running.

| state | 
       
  | 
      
       started/stopped are idempotent actions that will not run commands unless necessary. restarted will always bounce the service. reloaded will always reload.
