Execution order of handles in notify

Hi,

I can’t find anywhere in the documentation any mention of the task order executed under notify. Having the example from the web docs:

- name: template configuration file
  template: src=template.j2 dest=/etc/foo.conf
  notify:
     - restart memcached
     - restart apache

does this guarantee that memcached is always going to be restarted before apache when the handles get flushed?

Thanks,
Igor

No.
All notify will run at the end an in the order they are in handlers file.

I guess same goes in case of different tasks calling different handles? Like:

- task1
  notify:
     - restart memcached

- tasks2
  notify:
     - restart apache

Yes.
The order the handlers are being notify has no influence on the order they are executed.
They will always be executed in the order they are in the handlers file.
