[backend:children] backend-group1 backend-group2 [backend-group1] be[1:3] [frontend-group1] fe1 [backend-group2] be[4:6] [frontend-group2] fe2 The play runs on "backend", copies the files to each member of the backend groups and as the last step calls the 'webservice' defined for that group. However it will do so three times per group (once for each host). When you use 'run_once' it will run it only once, which will work if you run the play for a single group, however when you run the play against all groups at once, it will only call the webservice once, but in the above setup it should have called two different webservices (backend-group2 has frontend-group2 defined and backend-group1 has frontend-group1 defined after all). Splitting it out in a separate play and running it against 'frontend' directly doesn't work since at that point I don't know anymore which backend servers where touched (let's say I've used --limit backend-group1 and the second play is defined to run on 'frontend'. The only way this can work is if I would explicitly use --limit backend-group1,frontend-group1, but that kinda defeats the purpose of what I'm doing here). The nicest solution I see would be having something like 'run_once_per_group'. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
