I trigger the below ansible playbook using Jenkins pipeline.
- name: Play 2- Configure Source nodes hosts: "{{ location }}" user: remoteuser strategy: free gather_facts: false vars: ansible_ssh_extra_args: -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -o ConnectionAttempts=5 ansible_ssh_private_key_file: /app/automation/id_rsa tasks: - name: Execute script shell: "/app/mybkp.sh" The above ansible-playbook is run as below in debug mode: ansible-playbook orabackup.yml_final -i ora.hosts -f 90 -e location=MYIP -e ansible_ssh_use_tty=no -vvv Below is the output where the Jenkins freezes and never completes.
