Description

I have a service defined as running but elsewhere I need to temporarily disable this service, take some action and then re-enable the service afterwards.

At the moment I am having to use execs for this but I’d rather use service if possible?

It’s not possible to do this at this point, because the service would need to be before and after your other resource – stop the service before, do something, stop the resource after.

We’re nowhere near being able to do something like that.
