Hi all,

I am stuck with below strange issue that ansible halts or goes into sleep mode when trying to start jboss as a root user using ansible on redhat machine1

Accordingly below are the details of the scripts that are on redhat machine1

**ansible.cfg**

[defaults]

host\_key\_checking = False  
hostfile = inventory  
deprecation\_warnings = False  
[privilege\_escalation]  
become = yes  
become\_user = root  
become\_method = sudo

**Inventory file**

host1 ansible\_ssh\_host=11.21.34.124

[webservers]  
host1

[datacenter:children]  
webservers

[datacenter:vars]  
ansible\_ssh\_user=root  
ansible\_ssh\_pass=password

**/roles/webserver/tasks/main.yaml**
