Hi All,
I need to set some environment variable for all the user who is executing
the ansible script. Currently I am doing something like this in the
playbook:
- hosts: all
task:
- name: get path
shell: which R
register: r_path
- name: create file in /etc/profile.d
shell: touch /etc/profile.d/rpath.sh
sudo: yes
args:
creates: /etc/profile.d/rpath.sh
- name: create environment variable and paste in file
shell: echo "export RHOME={{ r_path.stdout }}" > /etc/profile.d/rpath.sh
- name: reload profile
shell: source /etc/profile
When I run this playbook, it works fine on RHEL machine. But it fails on
Ubuntu machine. The reason being, on ubuntu source command is not present.
So what I was wondering is, can this be done in a better way? Or is there a
better way to reload the profile on ubuntu ?
Also another question: When we have a playbook with multiple task, does
ansible execute all the task as if it were a single session? or Each new
task is a separate session with the host?
The reason I am asking is because, in my ansible script, once I have set
the environment variable, I would like to use that in the next task.
Thanks
