I don’t see any playbook, or other content. What did you try already? What are you trying to automate? On a side note, if you are new to ansible, what is the urgency about? ---

I meant what does DISTRIB\_CODENAME evaluate to on the target system? ---

Hello, First, are you using the same account with the playbook and when you test interactively ? And are you sure you are using the same “become\_user” ? Second, when your playbook run a task/module, it is using a clean minimal environment ? Are you able to issue the same command in non interactive mode ? (for example from a cron/at/…) If you have to do “pbrun bash” then the command, it’s not exactly the same as doing “pbrun thecommand” (what you are asking your playbook to do) You’re first loading a specific interpreter (and I’m not sure your playbook is using the same exact shell) in interactive session (hence setting environment variables and doing stuffs via the ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile etc) Just few hints. Regards.
