I've got a playbook where a couple of tasks are notifying a 'Reboot server' handler when a lineinfile generates a change. I *also* want to notify the same handler when the reboot-required file exists (this is on Ubuntu). My brain is glitching as to how to get this done.
Essentially I have code:

A breather, a better specified Google, and I"ve found what I need.
Looks like what I want is more like this:
- name: check if a reboot is required
shell: "[ -f /var/run/reboot-required ]"
failed_when: False
register: reboot_required
changed_when: reboot_required.rc == 0
notify: reboot
Ben
Though this is more efficient and easier to understand:
- name: Get reboot-required status
stat: path=/var/run/reboot-required
register: file_reboot_required
changed_when: file_reboot_required.stat.exists
notify: reboot
