Well, don't I feel stupid about the hyphens. Thanks. When I print out the results of the service file though, I get the following:
msg: "Osqueryd service file is /work/roles/wazuh/files/osqueryd.serice\n/usr/lib/systemd/system/osqueryd.service" How do I get the results of the latter half - just /usr/lib/systemd/system/osqueryd.service?
