Hello Dick,
Thanks for all your suggestions.
I am very sorry for the mistake in my playbook which i copied here.
Actually as i stated i would need to extract the mypack.zip file which is
in the controller machine to all my application servers( here by mistake i
defined as localhost, where as a list of servers are there).
my aim is that extract the .zip file in the controller to the specific
folder in application servers (because i have another script with this path
specified for calling the package).
i was trying for 2 conditions
1) check the target servers directory present or not (eg: /opt/mypack). if
it present skip else create directory.
2) check the above directory already have the extracted file or not. if no
extract, if yes skip extract.
I tried with below playbook where i want to extract 2 .zip packages to all
target servers specific location (/opt/mypack and /opt/mypack2)
