Looking to translate this to a playbook :

1. In your SSH Client (Putty), Log into the server using your an account
2. Become the LDAP User  
sudo -u dbuser -i (this prompts for the remote\_user’s credentails
3. run an command  
echo “logged in as dbuser”
4. Perform an On-Line backup of the DB service

telnet localhost 4111

Welcome to the DB Console

> dump db;  
> Starting dump

> logout;

1. cd /app/TSA/data/backups (as dbuser)

Appreciate any help and thanks in advance.
