Hello, thank you for your answer!

What I understand about cache plugins is that what could interrest me is
fact caching. But as far as I know, lookup plugins can't set facts.

Regards,

Daniel

Sounds like you want cache plugins.

Thank you for you answer.

I already know *post_tasks*, *handlers*, and *ansible-runner*, but I
don't think there are good for what I'm looking for.

You need a bit more context: I have a custom lookup plugin that
initialize some data and execute a new process in order to keep
these datas available during the playbook life.
I want to be able to send a SIGTERM signal to the process to
terminate it at the end of playbook execution.

As I want to share this custom plugin, I don't want any user
interaction, because it's not the user role to worry about this
extra process.
So *post_tasks*, *handlers*, and *wait_for* are excluded.
*ansible-runner* may be a good alternative but I don't want to force
users to use *ansible-runner* instead of *ansible*.

I hope it's more clear.

Regards,

Daniel

execution step. I wonder if there is some event listener I can
subscribe
on in order to execute my code.

This depends on the use case:

1) To execute the code at the end of the playbook you can use
*post_tasks*. At some arbitrary playbook execution step use
*tasks*.

2) To trigger the execution of a code by some events you can use
the module *wait_for*


https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/ansible/builtin/wait_for_module.html#ansible-builtin-wait-for-module-waits-for-a-condition-before-continuing

and *handlers*


https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_handlers.html

3) To execute the code after the playbook finished you can use
*ansible-runner*
