apache service.running configurable

I would like apache.service.running to be configurable via map.jinja.

This supports any UC where default apache formula runs with service stopped.

NGINX is badly packaged and aborts pkg installers if tcp/80 is already bound, leaving package managers in a mess. Run apache + nginx salt formulas sequence to replicate.

For both situations, this configurable is useful.

I like the idea, but got a stupid question too: Why via map.jinja and not directly in pillar? It's neither dependent on OS nor release, but on use case. Specific use cases go into pillar afaik?

noelmcloughlin commented

Sure it's a good question. This is a UC and if pillar is best place, then thats fine with me.
