Thanks Philippe,
"Poll - 0" means that never check the status as the connection will be
broken. What does "async - 1" means ?
Can you explain this example to me ?
- name: simulate long running op (15 sec), wait for up to 45 sec, poll every
5 sec
command: /bin/sleep 15
async: 45
poll: 5
What does async : 45 means here ?
