do you really expect anybody to attempt to decipher the mess spread over title and body which hasn’t even a modicum of formatting on it?

Actually my task is hanged here. How to over come from this.
Actually this in properindentation in my plabook. At the time of copy pasting time indentation is missing.

Instead of reinventing wheels and shell pipes, why not use the reboot module and be done with it?

You can use triple backticks (```) on the line before and after a block of YAML to preserve the format:

- name: Wait for host to boot
  wait_for_connection:
    connect_timeout: 20
    sleep: 5
    delay: 5
    timeout: 600
  ignore_errors: yes
  when: host_reboot is changed
  register: wait_for_host_to_boot

Not sure if this is the issue you’re experiencing, but if you’re using interpreter discovery, wait_for_connection uses the original discovered interpreter after reboot, instead of trying to rediscover it. If the previous interpreter no longer exists, that would cause a timeout (also reported as an issue here wait_for_connection does not discover new python interpreter after reboot · Issue #82804 · ansible/ansible · GitHub).
