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

Below worked for me with ansible-playbook 2.9.0 and Python 3.7. Please note that, on line with - command, make sure to use double quote " instead of single one '. And don't forget to put \n at the end of command.

    - name: Reloading switch using ios_command.
      ios_command:
        commands: 
          - command: "reload\n"
            prompt: 'Proceed with reload? [confirm]'
            answer: "\r"
