使用Ansible启动jboss服务

Question

I wrote a simple ansible playbook to stop and start a jboss service, problem is on the server when I start the service manually it requires a password, but when I run the playbook it throws and error even though the password is provided.

Here is the playbook.

and this is the error I get when I ran it

PLAY [dev] *********************************************************************

TASK [setup] *******************************************************************
ok: [10.33.122.122]

TASK [Stop jboss server] *******************************************************
fatal: [10.33.122.122]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failed": true, "msg": "standard in must be a tty\n"}

NO MORE HOSTS LEFT *************************************************************
 [WARNING]: Could not create retry file 'main.retry'.         [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ''


PLAY RECAP *********************************************************************
10.33.122.122              : ok=1    changed=0    unreachable=0    failed=1   

Answer 1

And you can stop jboss service with jbosssvc user from CLI?

Yes but it requires a password and i input it as required then it stops, how do I do the same on a playbook though?

It means jbosssvc is not allowed to stop the service (which is somewhat expected situation), thus you cannot use become_user: jbosssvc directive.

You must become root to perform this operation (and this requires connecting user to be able to run commands with elevated permissions).
