Hello - Assistance requested
I'm encountering a shell module failure in a play I'm testing. My end goal
is to validate if my app "MIP" is down or not. Plan is to check for the
running process, then conditionally fail out as needed. My sample shell
command is failing but I can't determine why. The actual error output isn't
helpful.
Code:
- name: Validate MIP is down
hosts: "{{ target }}"
tasks:
- shell: "ps -ef | grep '/apps/scope/manh/MIP/profile-root' | grep -v
grep"
# - shell: "ps -ef | grep '{{ MIP_HOME }}/profile-root' | grep -v grep"
register: mip_output
changed_when: false
Error Output:

The command itself works fine when executed manually on the target server.
Perhaps it's something with the shell module
<http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/shell_module.html>? It looks like shell
module is frowned upon based on the docs. Perhaps there is a way to turn
this command into something that the actually command module can parse.
Thanks
