Hi all,

Please excuse for my ignorance if there is a clean way to do the following:

hosts
[sm]
host1

[sw]
host2

myplaybook.yml
---
- hosts: all
  roles:
  - common

- hosts: sm
  roles:
  - role1
  - role2

- hosts: sw
  roles:
  - role1
  - role3

----------------------------

Assume that I can not combine tasks in role1 to common but I want to apply 
the run at the last play in the play book.  What are the options?  Since 
start-at-task will be the same for the role1 I can only start at 2nd play 
but not the the 3rd play.  I certainly can intro a fake role as the first 
role or a pre-tasks task (have not tried this yet) to the 3rd play to 
possibly achieve this but that is not the point of how we can achieve this 
in a more systematic and clean way in Ansible.


I can even break the plays into their own playbooks and then combine into a 
playbook:

mynewplaybook.yml
---
- include: play1.yml
  when: common is defined

- include: play2.yml 
  when: sm is defined

- include: play3.yml
  when: sw is defined


-----
And then use "-e sw=yes" to achieve this or even just create the 
mynewplaybook.yml or the original playbooks and then comment out the first 
2 plays but then again would it be even possible to do start-at-play 
feature that is much cleaner than what I suggest here.

Please share your better approaches and comments on this.

Thank you very much and Ansible rocks.
Steven.
