last task

[Frank]

Hi,

I am writing a role to setup ‘things’ on amazon ami (redhat based I suppose).

I have a yum upgrade step on it like so:

- name: upgrade all base packages

  yum: name=* state=latest

then ‘other stuff gets done’ like installing some additional software.

I want to put this next step in place to check if kernel version has changed or not and if so, reboot the server.

- name: Check what the new version is

  shell:  lsb_release -r | awk '{print $2}'

  register: new_release

- name: Reboot

  command: /sbin/reboot -t now

  when: {{ amzn_base_lsb_release }} != new_release.stdout

# amzn_base_lsb_release = defined in defaults/main.yml

Q: Is there a way for me to define this as the last step?

(this is a role and this task in defined in tasks/RedHat.yml inherited by tasks/main.yml)

Thanks in advance!

Yes, I’m going to release this as soon as it gets right (well, its my first role) :)

Cheers,

Frank

Ansible is order based, so if you want a task to go last, make it the very last task in the last play in your playbook, and flush the handlers before running it

...

- meta: flush_handlers

- shell: echo "I am the last task"

This may it will make sure any other handlers complete before running the task.
