How to schedule a task which should be run after every 30 mins

[Samir Kothawade]

Hi, 

I want to execute specified task in ansible playbook after every 30 mins. Task is not just a command, so "at" module does not work in my case or may be I am not doing it in proper way :

Here is my play book. Playbook below runs correctly for single time. I want to collect the stats after every 30 mins, so how should I do that...  Can you guys please suggest solution ?

- hosts: zmr

  gather_facts: no

  vars:

     date: "{{ lookup('pipe', 'date +%Y%m%d-%H%M') }}"

  tasks:

  - name: set the winsize

    shell: stty cols 5000 rows 5000

  - name: Get the debug status

    ignore_errors: yes

    expect:

      command: /opt/wishu/ZMR_Platform/bin/go_zmr_cli

      timeout: 5

      responses:

        (.*)Username:(.*): "admin"

        (.*)Password:(.*): "admin"

        (.*)ZMR>(.*): display debug info PP ip 192.168.30.26 port 8686

        (.*):(.*): "             q"

      timeout: 30

    register: stats

  - local_action: copy content="{{ stats_.stdout}}" dest="/home/sam/stats_{{ lookup('pipe', 'date +%Y%m%d-%H%M') }}.txt"

    ignore_errors: yes

How about writing a shell script with ansible-playbook command, and triggering that every 30 minutes using crontab.

Thanks,

Create a script (e.g. in bash) that does everything you want to do, including run Ansible.

Then create a cron-job which runs that script at the intervals you desire.
