I am fairly new to Ansible and having a problem with a playbook in which I
wish to have a handler run one script if the target OS is in the RedHat
family and another script if the target OS is in the Debian family. I am
clearly doing this wrong. Here's the relevant snippet:
[...]
handlers:
- name: restart foo
shell: /etc/init.d/barfoo stop ; /etc/init.d/barfoo start
when: ansible_os_family == "RedHat"
shell: /etc/init.d/bazfooinit stop ; /etc/init.dbazfooinit start
when: ansible_os_family == "Debian"
[...]
This works fine for the targets running a Debian distro (in this case two
Debians and an Ubuntu) but does not work. for the hosts running a Red Hat
distro (actually three CentOS servers, all running the same version of
CentOS). The handler just returns "skipping: [<host>]" for each CentOS
host.
Running ansible against those targets with -m setup -a
'filter=ansible_os_family' returns the expected "RedHat" for the CentOS
hosts.
I suspect I am doing something wrong. Is it not possible to have two
"when:" statements and only the last one is interpreted? That would seem
to explain what I am seeing. If that, or something similar is the case how
can I accomplish what I need to do... kind of a "if RedHat, elseif Debian"
sort of behavior?
Thanks!
