Hi, i want to add this command to my Ansible Playbook  
`reload from working rollback-timeout 20`  
The Output should be like this:

```auto
-> reload from working rollback-timeout 20 
Confirm Activate (Y/N) :

```

But in Ansible i receive this Error

````auto
FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "y\r\n ^\r\nERROR: Invalid entry: \"y\"\r\n\r\n-> "}```

````

Playbook:

```auto
- name: Reload from working
  alcatel.aos8.aos8_command:
    commands:
      - "reload from working no rollback-timeout"
  register: raw_reload_from_working_no_rollback_timeout_output

- name: Handle activation confirmation if required
  when: "'Confirm Activate (Y/N) :' in raw_reload_from_working_no_rollback_timeout_output.stdout"
  alcatel.aos8.aos8_command:
    commands:
      - "Y"
  register: confirm_response_output

- name: Debug output
  debug:
    msg:
      - "Reload command output: {{ raw_reload_from_working_no_rollback_timeout_output }}"
      - "Confirm response output: {{ confirm_response_output | default('No confirmation required') }}"

```

The `alcatel.aos8` collection is not publicly available, so I can’t speak for it, but this is how you do it with `ansible.netcommon.cli_command`:

```auto
- name: Reload from working
  ansible.netcommon.cli_command:
    command: "reload from working no rollback-timeout 20"
    prompt: "Confirm Activate"
    answer: "y"

```
