Ansible goes into a infinite sleep mode when it tries to start jboss server as root user

[Santhosh Chaitanya]

Hi all,

I am stuck with below strange issue that ansible halts or goes into sleep mode when  trying to start jboss as a root user using ansible on redhat machine1

Accordingly below are the details of the scripts that are on redhat machine1


ansible.cfg


[defaults]

host_key_checking = False
hostfile = inventory
deprecation_warnings = False
[privilege_escalation]
become = yes
become_user = root
become_method = sudo

Inventory file



host1  ansible_ssh_host=11.21.34.124

[webservers]
host1

[datacenter:children]
webservers


[datacenter:vars]
ansible_ssh_user=root
ansible_ssh_pass=password




/roles/webserver/tasks/main.yaml

---
- name: start jboss server
  remote_user: root
  command: sh /home/tcprod/schaitanya/first.sh


webserver.yaml

---
- hosts: webservers
  gather_facts: yes
  roles:
    - webserver


I used below command to execute

ansible-playbook webserver.yaml


On the remote machine(machine2) which is controlled by anisible I have below script in /home/xyz/user1/first.sh






Below is the first.sh file for  scenario1

#!/bin/bash
# My first script


/usr/jboss/bin/run.sh -c production -b 0.0.0.0


output error message from ansible for secenario1

Below is the first.sh file for  scenario2 it executes perfectly and returns the output line (please refer below output)

#!/bin/bash
# My first script
echo "I am able to run as root user"
