I'd suggest not using the `shell:` module, instead use the `systemd:`
module.
Then setup the `when:` clause with a third that only executes this play on
OS versions that have `systemctl` (e.g. RHEL 7+, etc). You run a play
right before it that registers the full path of `systemctl` found on the
system (maybe use `shell: which systemctl`).
Something like this:
- name: manage services using systemctl
tags: manage services using systemctl
systemd:
name: {{servicesList}}
state: {{actionTodo}}
with_items:
- "{{servicesList}}"
when:
- ansible_os_family == "RedHat" and ansible_lsb.major_release|int
>= 7
- actionTodo != ""
- servicesList != ""
ignore_errors: true
register: p2
