Maybe you can try to proceed by inclusion, knowing the format of a limits.conf :
^\s*[*a-z]+\s+soft\s+nofile
R.
This fails to find any lines (which exist) in my files. Basically, I want to find any line that isn't a comment, that matches the expression and delete it. Any ideas?--- name: Remove tuning parameters from /etc/security/limits.conf if present
lineinfile:
path: /etc/security/limits.conf
regexp: "{{ item.regexp }}"
state: absent
with_items:
- { regexp: "^(?!#).*soft.*nofile.*" }
- { regexp: "^(?!#).*hard.*nofile.*" }
- { regexp: "^(?!#).*soft.*nproc.*" }
- { regexp: "^(?!#).*hard.*nproc.*" }
- { regexp: "^(?!#).*soft.*stack.*" }
- { regexp: "^(?!#).*hard.*stack.*" }
- { regexp: "^(?!#).*soft.*memlock.*" }
- { regexp: "^(?!#).*hard.*memlock.*" }
