Hi Brian Thanks very much for these hints. I did some more reading in https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/playbook_guide/playbooks_privilege_escalation.html and its linked pages. I found that adding:
become_method: su allowed 'printenv' to run correctly in the non-root account, and the further addition of: become_flags: '-' allowed execution of .bash_profile, allowing the environment variables to be set. Thanks again tl On Thursday, September 28, 2023 at 2:39:36 PM UTC-4 Brian Coca wrote: > become does not always imply a full login nor sourcing .shell files, > some of it depends on flags (`-i` for sudo or `-` for su), other times > it depends on shell used. > > -- > ---------- > Brian Coca > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
