What does your playbook look like?

And what do you mean by “printing nohup log”? Is it something java specific?

I think that you can send the output into a file and then you can read it ,

**nohup**. **nohup** is a POSIX **command** to ignore the HUP (hangup) signal. The HUP signal is, by convention, the way a terminal warns dependent processes of logout. Output that would normally go to the terminal goes to a file called **nohup**.out if it has not already been redirected.
