We cannot start the jira using ansible playbook

[Sanjana Nalam]

I am trying to automate the stop and start functions of the jira using ansible playbooks.I am able to stop the jira but not able to start the jira using ansible playbook. I am attaching the playbook which I have used to start the jira

---

tasks:
- name: Start the JIRA
shell:
cmd: ./start-jira.sh
chdir: /<install>/bin/
register: result1

- name: Status of JIRA
shell:
cmd: ps aux | grep jira
# cmd: ps aux | grep jira
register: result2
- debug:
msg: "{{ result2.stdout }}"

- pause: minutes=5

- name: Status after starting the JIRA
shell:
cmd: tail -1000f catalina.out
chdir: /<install>/logs/
register: result3
- debug:
msg: "{{ result3.stdout }}"

---

I am getting this in logs while starting the jira 

"localhost-startStop-2" # daemon prio=5 os_prio=0 tid=0x00007f501c43b000 nid=0x416b in Object.wait() [0x00007f4f4bccc000]

Please suggest any method so that I can automate the stop and start functions of the jira using ansible playbooks.

That's because your script is being killed by the HUP signal when that ansible task exits.

Use shell: nohup /<dir>/start-jira.sh to tell the shell you wish it to continue running.

Example:

- name: Stop Jira App
  shell: nohup /<dir>/start-jira.sh

Best regards,
