Hi@akhtar,

Ansible has a module named service. This is used to perform service-related tasks. You can use the below command to start httpd service.

[root@localhost ~]# ansible all -m service -a "name=httpd state=started"
192.168.0.179 | CHANGED => {
    "ansible_facts": {
        "discovered_interpreter_python": "/usr/libexec/platform-python"
    },
    "changed": true,
    "name": "httpd",
    "state": "started",
    "status": {
        "ActiveEnterTimestampMonotonic": "0",
        "ActiveExitTimestampMonotonic": "0",
        "ActiveState": "inactive",
