ansible shell /命令模块未在远程计算机上执行脚本

Question

While trying to run startup.sh script for Tomcat-8, I am getting below error. Playbook is executing successfully with STDOUT- "Tomcat started" but it is not reflecting in the remote machine. The error is there for both modules - command and shell

Tried running your tasks in a playbook on Centos7 and it executes successfully with Tomcat up and healthy. (Had to install maven first) I might need more info to debug this.

• Q: Are you planning to run tomcat as root user? (if you are.. you shouldn't)
• Q: What is the OS on remote?
• Q: Have you installed JRE or JDK properly ?

Have a look at this example: https://github.com/ansible/ansible-examples/tree/master/tomcat-standalone
