Thanks Mark,
This trick worked for me:
- name: vncserver command
shell: sudo -u {{ item.name }} -i vncserver </tmp/file >/tmp/vncpasswd.1
2>/tmp/vncpasswd.2
with_items:
vnc_users
The modification with your tick is only "i":
-i [command]
The -i (simulate initial login) option runs the shell
specified in the passwd(5)
entry of the target user as a login shell. This means
that login-specific resource
files such as .profile or .login will be read by the
shell. If a command is
specified, it is passed to the shell for execution.
Otherwise, an interactive shell
is executed. sudo attempts to change to that user's
home directory before running
the shell. It also initializes the environment, leaving
DISPLAY and TERM unchanged,
setting HOME, MAIL, SHELL, USER, LOGNAME, and PATH, as
well as the contents of
/etc/environment on Linux and AIX systems. All other
environment variables are
removed.
