At least on Debian, the powerline package ships with a systemd "user" file that can be used to manager powerline-daemon.

This is a better alternative than launching the daemon via bash. Systemd would handle restarting the service if it fails and allows logging and status to be handled in a standardized why.

Assuming a file like /usr/lib/systemd/user/powerline-daemon.service exists, Ansible could start and enable the service, doing the equivalent of:

    systemctl --user start powerline-daemon
    systemctl --user enable powerline-daemon
