I use a screen trick but mostly useful when using commands modules. Anyway, if it hangs doing apt upgrade, the behavior should be the same if your run it as a command. - debug: msg="Please, connect to {{ inventory_hostname }}, screen -r, and respond the possible questions." when: ansible_h

This is a misunderstanding of force-handler behavior. You would run-it again with --force-handlers, and any handlers would run, whether notified or not. Don't control-C the second run :) On Wed, Jul 23, 2014 at 1:20 PM, Michael Palumbo < michael.palumb...@gmail.com> wrote: > I just tried to

I just tried to run my playbook with --force-handlers and did CTRL+C: it stopped it right away and the handlers were not notified. Does it work for you? I use ansible 1.6.7 Thanks. On Wed, Jul 23, 2014 at 9:53 AM, Michael Palumbo < michael.palumb...@gmail.com> wrote: > Does that also work when

Does that also work when one task fails and the playbook stops? Does it work with the tasks of the roles as well? On Wed, Jul 23, 2014 at 8:30 AM, Michael DeHaan wrote: > When you kill a playbook you can use --force-handlers to make sure > handlers on a repeated runs. > > > On Tue, Jul 22, 201

When you kill a playbook you can use --force-handlers to make sure handlers on a repeated runs. On Tue, Jul 22, 2014 at 5:41 PM, Michael Palumbo < michael.palumb...@gmail.com> wrote: > So there is no solution to avoid being stuck on the following? It happens > to me often when I am upgrading the

So there is no solution to avoid being stuck on the following? It happens to me often when I am upgrading the system! - name: upgrade all safe packages sudo: yes apt: upgrade=safe Is there at least a way to see the progress? Looking at some logs on the machine? The state of my machine is me

apt should never need a parameter to not hang, however some *specific* packages can sometimes be poorly coded. Not saying that's the case here. I'd first check your ansible version and then file a bug with steps to reproduce. On Thu, Jul 10, 2014 at 7:45 PM, Michael Palumbo < michael.palumb...@

Thank you for your answers. I will use your apt module. But just for the record - I always rollback to fresh virtual machine, so the reason for hanging is not double task execution for sure. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.

You should absolutely use the apt module. You can install multiple packages in a single step by using "with_items" and there's a flag for controlling whether recommended packages are installed (see module docs). I suspect as for the commands not being interactive the second time it was because yo

you can execute shell commands, just not ones that expect interactivity as they hold the tty (this happens with any background ssh execution). for apt commands, yes use the apt module, it takes care of 99% f these issues. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Grou

Thanks for answer. However, apt is not the only task that hangs without ANY information why. Another example: shell: apt-get install --no-install-recommends virtualbox-guest-utils && sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-dkms Should I always use your apt module? Why can't I just execute simple
