I’ve been searching, without satisfaction, for an Ansible module or role to handle a RHEL 7 reboot gracefully.

I’ll begin playing with the command or shell modules to do this, but it seems that it should already exist.

Thanks,  
Don

A reboot module only exist for Windows

But this should work pretty well

- name: Reboot  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;shell: sleep 2 && shutdown -r  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;async: 1  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;poll: 0  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ignore\_errors: true

- name: Waiting for server to come back  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;wait\_for:  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;host: "{{ inventory\_hostname }}"  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;port: 22  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;state: started  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;delay: 30  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;delegate\_to: localhost
