I was setting up 2 test machines and getting the error below. Any ideas/suggestions?
I tried reading the error below, but can’t figure out the error.

Tracked down the issue. it is an issue with this

/dev/null 2>&1

I rolled back to version stable-1.9 and the problem does not exist there.

Was also trying ansible_shell_type=csh (freeBSD machine with shell as csh) and did not help in version 2. It seems version 2 expects bash and does not seem to be working with neither sh or csh. I had one machine (freebsd) with sh and another with csh (also freebsd) and neither worked. Changed shell to bash in one of the machines that that worked.

I guess going to stick with 1.9 for now.

I believe this is fixed with 5a65dce6fb653e5cebae65b0d0dfd23b7a0bb576
which is not in current devel, if you have time to test please
confirm.
