Hello all,
I'm completely new to ansible here, so I apologize for any terminology
mistakes. I'm running ansible 1.5 on CentOS 6. In setting up a playbook,
I've come across an issue with how notify acts. Below are some snippets:
<from main.yml for the role in question>
- name: deploy nslcd.conf file
copy: src=etc/nslcd.conf dest=/etc/nslcd.conf owner=root group=root
mode=0600
notify:
- restart nslcd
- refresh authconfig for nslcd
<from main.yml under handlers>
- name: restart nslcd
service: name=nslcd state=restarted
- name: refresh authconfig for nslcd
command: /usr/sbin/authconfig --enableldap --update
When I run this against a system that's already been configured, everything
seems fine. When I delete the file and kill the process on one of the
systems, however, I get the following. 1) The nslcd.conf file is copied
only to the system where it is missing, as expected. 2) restart nslcd runs
on both systems, even though it was only changed on one of them. 3)
refresh authconfig for nslcd runs on both systems, again even though it was
only needed on one system.
As far as I can tell, whenever a handler is called it acts against all of
the hosts, not just those that were affected by the parent task. Is this
simply how this works? Or am I missing something?
Thanks.
