Looking at the code for the pause module:
if seconds is not None:
# setup the alarm handler
signal.signal(signal.SIGALRM, timeout_handler)
signal.alarm(seconds)
# show the prompt
display.display("Pausing for %d seconds" % seconds)
display.display("(ctrl+C then 'C' = continue early, ctrl+C then 'A' =
abort)\r"),
else:
display.display(prompt)
Even if you only want pause to wait some amount of time, the module still
expects STDIN to be available after prompting for ctrl+C.
So, this worked:
$ nohup ansible-playbook -vvvvvv build.yml 0</dev/null
It keeps STDIN open but provides no input.
