Hello, ansible by default runs a task on all hosts and then waits for result from everyone before going to the next step. If your task has a loop, there's no way to run the loop synchronously between all nodes, because is a single task with multiple options. You can split the commands in several shell tasks, instead one with a loop. Luca ---

Hello, try this for printing command output. I don't know if you can hide the other parts of output: [https://stackoverflow.com/a/24834231](https://stackoverflow.com/a/24834231) ---

You can either create it with copy or template module. Your task above is hard to read and escaping all the special characters is a difficult and superfluous venture. Regards           Racke ---

Maybe you can register a variable that captures the "cmd" output and look at yourvariable.output afterwards?
