Process Monitoring in Ansible

[Jenisha T]

Is there a way in Ansible to find if process complete. I m running an os-copy process. How to check if the process completed. The hard way is to wait  for 2hrs and read logs to find the word in the log is there a sentence 

"OS copy success". Is there any elegant way to do it in ansible check if the process completes go to the next task instead of waiting for 2 hrs and then checking logs.

There is only hard way "Asynchronous Actions and Polling"

AFAIK, there is no distributed interprocess communication. Probably because
of the large variety of supported platforms. Instead, the process might
trigger ansible-pull when ready
