I have the below play to identify if JBoss java process is up. I am expecting the msg not to be printed (skipped) if JBoss is down. Am I doing anything wrong here?

tasks:

- name: Check JBoss java process  
shell: ps -ef | grep java | grep “jboss.server”  
register: jboss\_java\_process  
ignore\_errors: false

- debug: msg=“JBoss Process is running on {{ inventory\_hostname }}”  
when: jboss\_java\_process.stdout.find(“jboss.server”) != -1

-SKR

Hi,  
can you run it with -vv and post the output?
