Hi Mark, It looks like you're not quite up to speed on how conditionals work yet, and that's ok.
What you have registered in the first call is the result of the operation, which is a hash (or a dictionary, as Python calls it). Each time you are then storing a *different* result in it, as you have it written, each time a different hash. At no point is this hash table actually a boolean, which is why you can't just use it there in the conditional. It sounds like you are trying to restart supervisor only if any of the above 3 things changed, which *CAN* be done the way you have it, but you would need to set three different vars and then do: when: foo.changed or bar.changed and baz.changed But that's a hack. A much better thing to do would be to use handlers: http://docs.ansible.com/playbooks_intro.html Signalled here by "notify". If you need handlers to run at a certain point, rather than the end of the play, you can use the task: - meta: flush_handlers.
