Well, don't I feel stupid about the hyphens.  Thanks.

When I print out the results of the service file though, I get the 
following:

     msg:  "Osqueryd service file is 
/work/roles/wazuh/files/osqueryd.serice\n/usr/lib/systemd/system/osqueryd.service"

How do I get the results of the latter half - just 
/usr/lib/systemd/system/osqueryd.service?
