Thanks for your response , if i run this command on email relay server 
running postfix 

" postmulti -i postfix-in-1 -p status " >> it gives me the following output 
>> " postfix-in-1/postfix-script: the Postfix mail system is running: PID: 
8218 "

this tells me the instance is running , now i wanted my playbook to run the 
same command on the server and capture the output .

I basically wanted to run this playbook on a group of mail servers to check 
if postfix instance is running .

Ty.
