When ‘action’ variable is set to any of start, stop, restart, reload, enable, disable the variable servicename specifies which service to start, stop etc. All of the above options support variables ‘service’ and ‘ignore_service_errors’. service - Name of the service to start, stop etc. ignore_service_errors - default value for this variable is ‘yes’.

For example:

service=ntpd
