ANSIBLE.PAUSE(3)                ANSIBLE MODULES               ANSIBLE.PAUSE(3)



NAME
       pause - Pause playbook execution

DESCRIPTION
       Pauses playbook execution for a set amount of time, or until a prompt
       is acknowledged. All parameters are optional. The default behavior is
       to pause with a prompt.

       You can use ctrl+c if you wish to advance a pause earlier than it is
       set to expire or if you need to abort a playbook run entirely. To
       continue early: press ctrl+c and then c. To abort a playbook: press
       ctrl+c and then a.

       The pause module integrates into async/parallelized playbooks without
       any special considerations (see also: Rolling Updates). When using
       pauses with the serial playbook parameter (as in rolling updates) you
       are only prompted once for the current group of hosts.

OPTIONS
       minutes
              Number of minutes to pause for.

       prompt Optional text to use for the prompt message.

       seconds
              Number of seconds to pause for..

EXAMPLES
       # Pause for 5 minutes to build app cache.
       - pause: minutes=5

       # Pause until you can verify updates to an application were successful.
       - pause:

       # A helpful reminder of what to look out for post-update.
       - pause: prompt="Make sure org.foo.FooOverload exception is not present"
