Play is skipped in playbook

[John Welby]

Team;

I am trying to 'stop' and 'mask' packagekit because it appears it is causing yum locks and blocking the playbook from executing instance patching.  Below is at the top of the playbook:

---

- name: stop and mask packagekit

  hosts: jwelby_sandbox

  remote_user: ec2-user

  become: True

  become_method: sudo

  

  ansible.builtin.shell:

  cmd: systemctl stop packagekit

  systemctl mask packagekit

Thanks!

John

Hello,

Whenever possible, use Ansible modules instead of shell/command.

Take a look at Ansible's "systemd" module. It will help you doing both the stop and masking in a single task.
