Thanks for mentioning the 'ping' module - that is new to me. (It checks ssh connection and python, not an icmp ping) But I don't see "reachable" as a return value in the docs. Looks like that will run it for both hosts, which is not what the requestor wanted. More like: hosts: hosta gather_facts: False tasks: - ping: register: pingtest - hosts: hostb when: pingtest.failed But so far I cannot get it to work. I am looking to use the same logic to connect to the internal or external IP of an AWS server depending on where I happen to be running Ansible at that moment. -- Bob Harold -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Development" group.
