+cdist-type__systemd-service(7)
+==============================
+
+NAME
+----
+cdist-type__systemd-service - Controls a systemd service state
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+This type controls systemd services to define a state of the service,
+or an action like reloading or restarting. It is useful to reload a
+service after configuration applied or shutdown one service.
+
+The activation or deactivation is out of scope. Look for the
+:strong:`cdist-type__systemd_util`\ (7) type instead.
+
+REQUIRED PARAMETERS
+-------------------
+
+None.
+
+OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
+-------------------
+
+name
+    String which will used as name instead of the object id.
+
+state
+    The state which the service should be in:
+
+    running
+        Service should run (default)
+
+    stoppend
+        Service should stopped
+
+action
+    Executes an action on on the service. It will only execute it if the
+    service keeps the state **running**. There are following actions, where:
+
+    reload
+        Reloads the service
+
+    restart
+        Restarts the service
+
+BOOLEAN PARAMETERS
+------------------
+
+if-required
+    Only execute the action if minimum one required type outputs a message to
+    **$__messages_out**. Through this, the action should only executed if a
+    dependency did something. The action will not executed if no dependencies
+    given.
+
+MESSAGES
+--------
+
+start
+    Started the service
+
+stop
+    Stopped the service
+
+restart
+    Restarted the service
+
+reload
+    Reloaded the service
+
+ABORTS
+------
+Aborts in following cases:
+
+systemd or the service does not exist
+
+EXAMPLES
+--------
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    # service must run
+    __systemd_service nginx
+
+    # service must stopped
+    __systemd_service sshd \
+        --state stopped
+
+    # restart the service
+    __systemd_service apache2 \
+        --action restart
+
+    # makes sure the service exist with an alternative name
+    __systemd_service foo \
+        --name sshd
+
+    # reload the service for a modified configuration file
+    # only reloads the service if the file really changed
+    require="__config_file/etc/foo.conf" __systemd_service foo \
+        --action reload --if-required
