Ansible Win_command

[sindhu shree]

Hi All,

I need help in executing batch file which has some prompts.

Am using following lines of script

 - name: run an executable with custom working dir

            win_command: pisrvstop.bat /argument1 "/argument 2 with space"

            args:

               chdir: F:\Program Files\PI\adm

            async: 120

            poll: 5

it works fine but it will not answer  for the prompts. How do i set the answers for prompt?

May the expect module be useful for you?

Ansible modules are designed to be run in a non-interactive fashion, you won't receive the prompt on the controller as that's just not how Ansible works. You also won't be able to use expect for Windows as that is a Python module. Your best bet is to the use stdin option for win_command to send data over the stdin pipe. This is a very basic mechanism but if all you need to do is type 'y' then send y over stdin.

Thanks

Jordan,

Thanks for the detailed description.  Actually am working on stopping services which has dependencies just like service A dependent on Service B, am having issue in this scenario. Can you please give some info on stopping dependencies as well?

Thanks for the info. I look into it.
