Hi all, I am running a command using the command module. This is how it is **- name: start** **command: /opt/eate/bin/[script.pl](http://script.pl) \>/dev/null &** Now the problem is , after running the command, its not able to come out and i have to manually abort the playbook to come out of the execution. How can i handle this so that after trigerring the command successfully , it exits properly ? ---

use nohup to detach the tty. In any case, it is not a good way to start backgrounded services, it is much better to use the init system or some other service control software on the target. ---

Sounds like you may want to use async “fire and forget” by specifying a poll value of 0. [http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/playbooks\_async.html](http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/playbooks_async.html)
