Sorry,
Error message is as follows.
ERROR: Syntax Error while loading YAML script, prdscmappl01
Note: The error may actually appear before this position: line 28, column 95
- name: add email alias to /etc/alias
action: lineinfile dest="/etc/aliases" backup=yes state=present
insertafter=EOF line="root: [email protected]"
^
This one looks easy to fix. There seems to be an extra unquoted colon in
the line
and this is confusing the parser. It was only expecting to find one free
colon. The solution is just add some quotes around the colon, or quote the
entire line after the first colon.
For instance, if the original line was:
copy: src=file.txt dest=/path/filename:with_colon.txt
It can be written as:
copy: src=file.txt dest='/path/filename:with_colon.txt'
Or:
copy: 'src=file.txt dest=/path/filename:with_colon.txt'
