    tasks:

  • name: capture linux_os
    shell: “{{ item }}”
    register: prepatch
    with_items:

  • ‘uname -a’

  • ‘cat /etc/resolv.conf’

  • name: create directory
    file: path=/tmp/{{petch1}} state=directory

Hi all,

please help me.

Build ec2 instances with attaching multiple tags names :-
For example- I have launched one ec2 instance with tag name “websever1” the next builds of ec2 instances should start with tag name webserver2 , webserver3 … automatically.

Note: No two ec2 instances have same tag name.

Your copy syntax is invalid, i'm guessing this is what you want:

   copy: content={{ prepatch.stdout }} dest=/tmp/{{petch1}}-prepatch.txt

It also looks wrong as prepatch is a list and does not have a stdout
but a .results, with each item having a stdout

sorry, missing 1/2 of previous, here would be the final 'copy':

- copy: content={{ prepatch.results|selectattr('stdout')|join('\n') }}
dest=/tmp/{{petch1}}-prepatch.txt

This will put into the destination file the output fo both commands
separated by a new line, which I think is your intention.

Hi Brian ,

Still getting errors.

[root@station1 ansible]# ansible-playbook c2.yml
[WARNING]: While constructing a mapping from /etc/ansible/c2.yml, line 5, column 7, found a duplicate dict key (register). Using last
defined value only.

to retry, use: --limit @/etc/ansible/c2.retry
