ansible adhoc command did not return

[Jörg Kastning]

Hello folks,

This morning I run the following ansible adhoc command to update some of my hosts using ansible 2.5.2:

ansible host1,host2,host3 -m yum -a "name='*' state='latest'"
host2 | SUCCESS => {
    "changed": false,
    "msg": "",
    "rc": 0,
    "results": [
        "Nothing to do here, all packages are up to date"
    ]
}


^CProcess WorkerProcess-3:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/multiprocessing/process.py", line 258, in _bootstrap
Process WorkerProcess-1:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/multiprocessing/process.py", line 258, in _bootstrap
 [ERROR]: User interrupted execution

host1 and host3 were updated as well but the ansible adhoc command did not return. I have checked both hosts for any running yum or python process but both hosts were not running any of these and they were up-to-date. So I interrupted the ansible process on my controller machine.

Is this a known issue in version 2.5.2? How could this happen?

Could someone give some advise what to do to gather debug information when this happens the next time?

Regards,
Joerg
