Thanks for the hint Serge - you put me on the right track to the solution.
As you rightly said there was more needed in the yml file
Here is the working one.
---
- hosts: all
sudo: yes
tasks:
- name: restart server
command: /sbin/reboot
async: 0
poll: 0
ignore_errors: true
- name: wait for the server to restart
local_action: wait_for host={{ inventory_hostname }}
port=22
delay=1
timeout=300
state=started
sudo: false
Cheers
