Is there a way we can delay the connection instead of unreachable

Hello,

ISSUE - Whenever a user in a company is not connected to the vpn; ansible fails the connection (as unreachable). Is there a way we can delay the connection for 20 days and have it keep trying every hour, instead of showing “unreachable”?

REASON- I need the output to look clean when I save the file in order to validate within the company.

I appreciate your help!

Thanks

Yes;
use pause module, as an example : playbook that create 10 VMs and inatll http on these 10 VMs, so before installing httpd i should wait for VMs to be up i use pause

exemple using pause module

-name: pause for 2 mins
pause:
minutes: 2

good lok

This just sounds like a really bad idea! Having plays hanging around waiting for 20 days doesn’t sound sensible.
Why not just fail controllably after a number of retries perhaps?

I use something like this to do this:
…tasks…

register: output
until: output is not failed
retries: 3
