Thanks Kai for your response.
Just for clarification. Can Ansible support the following scenario?
1. Ansible ssh into a remote system using username/password.
2. Ansible waits for a specific prompt from the remote side.
3. Ansible than sends the command.
4. Ansible wait for the command response and return the output to the
caller.
I have a simple Python script using the Paramiko library to perform the
above operations.
But I am hoping I can use Ansible directly for this to interact with
number
of remote servers.
I looked at the Ansible expect module example and seems like it first
sends
the command and than look for some response and sends the corresponding
response.
I also saw the cli_command and that seems to have the interaction I
needed
but it seemed to be only for network devices.
The expect module is perfect for this.
Instead of letting Ansible do ssh you, you set the task to "delegate_to:
localhost" and let expect do ssh as the command.
