This change includes:
- (on possibly older python versions ?) a string variable test using the 'is' operator fails (so it always return ok immediately after initial delay)
- add a missing socket.settimeout() for the state=started case (if the machine does not exist, timeout defaults to 60 seconds)
- add a connect_timeout option to customize the default connection timeout
- use socket.shutdown(2) to close immediately
- return the elapsed time
The check for the destination being a directory is now done before
checking if the file exists, that way the user is informed that the
thirsty argument is required.
If I create a database from scratch and assign permissions by doing:
- name: ensure database is created
action: postgresql_db db=$dbname
- name: ensure django user has access
action: postgresql_user db=$dbname user=$dbuser priv=ALL password=$dbpassword
Then it fails with the error:

This fix fixes the problem by not executing the regex if the
db query on pg_database returns None.
The use-case here is that based on information in the /proc/cmdline certain actions can be taken.
A practical example in our case is that we have a play at the end of the provisioning phase that reboots the system. Since we don't want to accidentally reboot a system (or restart the network) on a production machine, having a way to separate an Anaconda post-install (sshd in chroot) with a normal system is a good way to make that distinction.
---
- name: reboot
hosts: all
tasks:
- action: command init 6
only_if: "not '${ansible_cmdline.BOOT_IMAGE}'.startswith('$')"
A practical problem here is the fact that we cannot simply check whether it is set or empty:
---
- name: reboot
hosts: all
tasks:
- action: command init 6
only_if: "'${ansible_cmdline.BOOT_IMAGE}'"
If ansible_cmdline was a string, a simple only_if: "'${ansible_cmdline}'.find(' BOOT_IMAGE=')" was an option, but still not very "beautiful" :-/
This implementation uses shlex.split() and uses split(sep, maxsplit=1).
This allows the use of ~ in the chdir argument of the command module
I know the later change is absolutely necessary as the first change
was not sufficient. It may be that the first change fixes shell and
the second fixes command.
