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?

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:

```auto
- 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](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82804)).
