I see how I can use the find module. But how can I get the "latest" directory from the find module? Do I have to split into several "stat" statements, one per year, beginning with 2020? Plus one "file" statement for each stat, to create the desired symlink? Since the "/etc/mycert" directory is a symlink too, pointing to a shared filesystem, I try to use other variable, it works here, but not all of my hosts can share this filesystem. As dest, I use "/clusterdisk/sapdirs/{{ facter_myhostname }}/current", and the with_first_found list now reads like - "/clusterdisk/sapdirs/{{ facter_myhostname }}/von_2020" - "/clusterdisk/sapdirs/{{ facter_myhostname }}/von_2019" Regards, Werner -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
