@Michael: Thanks for the confirmation about the stat module. I am migrating from puppet and I must admit that Ansible is winning on lot's of aspects but these kind of things were a bit more easy/elegant to accomplish with puppet. May we find some work around in the next modules versions.
@Tore: Interesting approach, I did not knew this shell module option. But regarding init script I prefer to let lsb directives and update-rc.d tool taking care of the boot/shutdown order. I think this way, it is easier to work with different platforms and above all with big DevOps teams. I'll let you know if I find something in between (but I am not going to search too much as systemd is coming :)) Regards, Faust Le mardi 18 novembre 2014 12:45:14 UTC, Tore Olsen a écrit : > > I just solved this differently by using the creates argument to the shell > module.
