I suggest you add a debug on the registered variable and/or run
ansible-playbook with -v
this will show you the contents of the registered variable. It will be
some JSON. Sometimes its useful to paste the JSON into
http://jsonlint.com/ so you can see a pretty printed version of the JSON.
then it should be fairly straightforward to work out what you need in the
when:
I *think*
when: reboot_hint.results.reboot_required
might be enough or possibly
when: reboot_hint.results.reboot_required == true
Hope this helps.
