Hi,

I am able to execute commands on remote hosts when i am just specifying one. But if I am running a command on host group after executing the command on all hosts and giving the output, it hangs with exiting. I have to do Ctrl+C to exit.

Any idea about why this is happening? The ansible installation is on an Ubuntu 13.04 system.

Nitin.

Can we see the playbook?

What ansible version?

What step?
