Hello,

I want to check if a process to run on my server by using the ps command:
- name: Test if openhr runs
  shell: ps -ef | grep -v grep  | grep {{ ansible_user }} | grep dispatcher
| grep {{ rep_user }}/{{ openhrname }}/bin
  register: procopenhr

I receive the following error message, I cannot figure out what's wrong
with my command:

TASK [openhr : Test if openhr runs]
******************************************
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": true, "cmd": "ps -ef | grep -v
grep | grep fval | grep dispatcher | grep home/fval/openhr/bin", "delta":
"0:00:00.011877", "end": "2016-05-24 12:36:58.184606", "failed": true,
"rc": 1, "start": "2016-05-24 12:36:58.172729", "stderr": "", "stdout": "",
"stdout_lines": [], "warnings": []}

I tried with quoting the last grep, without success: "grep {{ rep_user
}}/{{ openhrname }}/bin"

What is wrong ?

When grep doesn't find the string it will exit with 1.
Ansible threat this("rc": 1) as a failure, you can change this behaviour with ignore_errors, failed_when or changed_when depending of what you try to achieve.

You can read more about it here:
