The SSH jump host doesn't have ansible installed, and I don't have root access on it. I can of course install ansible in a virtualenv, but I was hoping for some cleverer way of detecting host down/up from within a playbook run from my laptop. I suppose my use-case is an outlier, so I'll try to see what I can do on the jump host. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
