Here's an example of the scenario I am describing:
- handlers:
-name: restart apache
-service: apache state=restarted
- tasks:
- name: enable apache proxy module [A]
command; a2enmod proxy creates=/etc/apache/mods-ehabled/proxy.load
notify: restart apache
- name: task that may fail [B]
command: this_may_fail
On this first run apache gets reconfigured, task B fails so apache doesn't
get restarted. On the second run, the first task is skipped, task B
completes successfully, and apache does not get restarted and ends up
running the original configuration.
