Hi Sharan,

You'd better use a syntax like this :

- name: "install  package MySQL"
  yum:
    name: "mysql-community-server"
    state: "present"
  become: yes

HTH,

Xavier

Hi Xavier,

Thanks for your time.

Have tried your suggestion but it is  failing as below .

I did try to install the package manually and it is asking  Is this ok [y/d/N]: , so is there a way in ansible where we can update the y/n option during  run-time or in the playbook to run it without failing.

Hi Sharan,

If you want to "answer" interactive commands in Rundeck, a good way is to use expect tool, take a look at this answer.

Greetings.

Hi rundeck,

Have modified few details in the playbook and was able to install the package, Thanks rundeck for your suggestion.

have used timeout as 120 second as it was taking time to install mysql-community-server.
