[Brian Coca]

Consider that EACH task get's it's own environment and session, the
first task hat does a cd, does NOT affect subsequent tasks.

Re: [ansible-project] Change current directory before tasks are run

[Jesse DeFer]

The CWD of the shell and sudo are still the home directory.  The chdir 
needs to happen before sudo is called.

If remote temp is outside of your home why would it still prevent things
from unmounting?

Re: [ansible-project] Change current directory before tasks are run

[Jesse DeFer]

raw doesn't seem to have a chdir option or it doesn't have the effect I 
need, command does but it still shows open files.  I already have 
remote_tmp set to a different directory.  I'm sure I could do something 
with at, but that's not the cleanest way to do it.  I had thought to set 
"sudo_exe = cd / && sudo" but that caused errors about executing sudo.

Re: [ansible-project] Change current directory before tasks are run

Another thought might be to use the "at" module to defer execution of this
particular command, sleep a bit to let it run, and then proceed?

Re: [ansible-project] Change current directory before tasks are run

[Michael Peters]

Does the chdir argument to raw work?

  raw: "/usr/sbin/lsof /afs" chdir="/"

[ansible-project] Change current directory before tasks are run

[Jesse DeFer]

I am trying to create a playbook to unmount an AFS mounted home directory, 
but I can't unmount it because the user running ansible has open files 
because of ansible.  I can't do this with user with a local home, or ssh 
configs or anything like that.   I need to do it with a regular ansible 
play and regular user, so no funky ssh configs or other changes to my hosts.

Here is my play:
- name: check if files are open in /afs
  raw: "cd / && /usr/sbin/lsof /afs"
  register: command_result
  failed_when: "command_result.rc != 1"

If I run it with ansible, it will succeed, but ansible-playbook will show 
two processes spawned by the ansible run (sh and sudo).

Is there a way to change the current directory before tasks are run?

Thanks,
Jesse
