I would like to md5sum two conf files server.xml and server.xml\_latest in the same folder on two instances on remote server. How can I get stdout just **“b9b82f9ad039e9d1b4c0233dbacf3934 /opt/tomcat-instance/fep21/conf/server.xml”** or somehow check if config file have same md4sum and stdout on screen like _Files have same_ _md5sum hash_ or _Files have_ _different md5sum hash!!!_

I have playbook thah look like that.

vars:

tc\_instances:

- tc\_inst\_name: tc20
- tc\_inst\_name: tc21

tasks:

- name: md5 → /opt/tomcat-instance/[TC\_INST]/conf/server.xml  
command: md5sum /opt/tomcat-instance/{{ item.tc\_inst\_name }}/conf/server.xml  
with\_items: tc\_instances  
register: md5\_server\_xml

- debug: msg={{ item.stdout }}  
with\_items: md5\_server\_xml.results

- name: md5 → /opt/tomcat-instance/[TC\_INST]/conf/server.xml\_latest  
command: md5sum /opt/tomcat-instance/{{ item.tc\_inst\_name }}/conf/server.xml\_latest  
with\_items: tc\_instances  
register: md5\_server\_xml\_latest

- debug: msg={{ item.stdout }}  
with\_items: md5\_server\_xml\_latest.results

and stdout on console like thaht

TASK: [debug msg={{ item.stdout }}] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*
