Trying this (which doesn't delete the lines yet).... but the other problem
is that the shell task is not idempotent
What do you mean by "is not idempotent" it's just listing files and it
need to do that every time.

# tasks file for dns_update
- name: Retrieve ifcfg files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
shell: ls /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts | grep ^ifcfg-
register: path_files
Alternative is the find module
- name: Retrieve ifcfg files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
find:
paths: ls /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
pattern: ifcfg-*
register: path_files
- name: Removing all DNS entries in ifcfg-* files
lineinfile:
path: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/{{ path_files.stdout_lines }}
state: absent
regexp: '^DNS'
with_items: "{{ path_files.stdout_lines }}"
The value from with_items i in a variable called item so the path sould be
path: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/{{ item }}
With the find module above this task should look like this
- name: Removing all DNS entries in ifcfg-* files
lineinfile:
path: '{{ item.path }}'
state: absent
regexp: '^DNS'
with_items: '{{ path_files.files }}'
