Thanks all! I had been trying to implement the "set_fact" module, but it
sets a different variable per host. I need a global variable that is not
tied to a specific host. So, it would end up running the last role
multiple times.
Sounds like the file and stat modules are what are going to do the trick.
It would be nice to have the option to set a global variable, sort of like
set_fact does, but NOT tied to any specific host, and all host plays could
access and modify it. This would replace the need to write to disk during
a play.
Where can I get a list of all the possible parameters used with stat?
e.g. the docs show when: p.stat.isdir is defined and p.stat.isdir ==
true
but I'm not sure how to run a task conditionally using stat to check for a
file existing.
