ansible - cisco IOS and “reload” command

Question

I would like to send command \"reload in \" to Cisco IOS, but that specific command needs to be confirmed like below:

#reload in 30
Reload scheduled in 30 minut         


        

Answer 1

commands parameter of ios_command module expects a YAML formated list of commands. However in the code example provided commands parameter is set multiple times. Try the ios_command task like this:

- name: do reload in case of "catting off"
  ios_command:
    commands:
      - reload in 30
      - y
  provider: "{{ cli }}"
