My explanation in the first message wasn't great - apologies. Just to be clear...
In a playbook... 1. A Tasks changes remote shell on windows system (ansible_shell_type) from powershell to cmd Subsequent tasks then run but have the opposite results as if the shell hasn't been changed 2. win_ping using powershell - success - when it should fail 3. win_ping using cmd shell - failure - when it should work, as we've changed the shell in 1 Just been reading about multiplexing, sounded a likely culprit so I set ansible.cfg [ssh_connection] -o ControlMaster=no But no change, it's still hanging onto it's old shell despite having been changed. Or I'm tired and misreading something On Saturday, 27 March 2021 at 00:06:31 UTC needabettername wrote: > Trying to make a dual boot script and came across these results, the shell > is changed during the playbook but subsequent tasks are somehow using the > old one. > > How can I force a new connection please? > > 1) Change shell to cmd -Success > win_ping using powershell - success > win_ping using cmd - failure > > The reverse is true when changing it back. > I've confimed the shells are changing by normal ssh from CLI > > --Part of Playbook-- > --- > - hosts: happy > gather_facts: no > ignore_unreachable: true > ignore_errors: true > tasks: > - include_tasks: win_shell_cmd.yml > vars: > become: yes > ansible_connection: ssh > ansible_shell_type: powershell > become_method: runas > - name: win_ping using ansible_shell_type powershell > win_ping: > vars: > become: yes > ansible_connection: ssh > ansible_shell_type: powershell > become_method: runas > - name: win_ping using ansible_shell_type cmd > win_ping: > vars: > become: yes > ansible_connection: ssh > ansible_shell_type: cmd > become_method: runas > > --- win_shell_cmd.yml --- > - name: set the default shell to cmd > win_regedit: > path: HKLM:\SOFTWARE\OpenSSH > name: DefaultShell > state: absent > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
