…art command The playbook was failing when attempting to restart OpenStack services because of an invalid escaped character in the command that lists and restarts services. The original implementation used a shorthand systemctl flag (-a) along with a regular expression for egrep, which led to improper parsing and execution issues during the playbook run. This commit replaces the shorthand with a more explicit invocation that is confirmed to run without error: - Uses "systemctl list-units --type=service --all --no-legend --plain" to reliably list service units. - Adds the "-r" flag to xargs to avoid running systemctl restart without input, ensuring more predictable behavior. Note: This bug may be specific to hosts running Ubuntu Jammy
