Ok, I'll try that. Since one of the common return values of ansible
modules is
[failed](http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/common_return_values.html#id5)
I would like to use it in my play. But how could I use it? Do I simply
have to use "register: failed" to check it in the next play?

Could you give an example how to evaluate the variable, please?
