I am using ansible playbook to install elasticsearch and elasticsearch plugin. after successfully installation of Elasticsearch I written one ansible task to Restart Elasticsearch. Its restarting elasticsearch but ansible playbook hang up in this task. My ansible task is: ``` - name: "Ensure Elasticsearch is Running" service: name=elasticsearch state=restarted ``` I also tried with `shell: sudo service elasticsearch restart` but no luck. **Elasticsearch Version** : 1.3.0 **Ansible Version** : 1.5.5 Verbose Output for the task is : ``` ESTABLISH CONNECTION FOR USER: prod on PORT 22 TO ``` [app101.host.com](http://app101.host.com) \<[app101.host.com](http://app101.host.com)\> REMOTE\_MODULE service name=elasticsearch state=restarted \<[app101.host.com](http://app101.host.com)\> EXEC /bin/sh -c 'mkdir -p $HOME/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1410327554.04-167734794521310 && chmod a+rx $HOME/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1410327554.04-167734794521310 && echo $HOME/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1410327554.04-167734794521310' \<[app101.host.com](http://app101.host.com)\> PUT /tmp/tmpjIMUkF TO /home/prod/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1410327554.04-167734794521310/service \<[app101.host.com](http://app101.host.com)\> EXEC /bin/sh -c 'sudo -k && sudo -H -S -p "[sudo via ansible, key=yeztwzmmsgyvjjqmmunnvtbopcplrbso] password: " -u root /bin/sh -c '"'"'echo SUDO-SUCCESS-yeztwzmmsgyvjjqmmunnvtbopcplrbso; /usr/bin/python /home/prod/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1410327554.04-167734794521310/service; rm -rf /home/prod/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1410327554.04-167734794521310/ > /dev/null 2\>&1'"'"'' Any Suggestion? While Starting Elasticsearch It show log on shell in earlier version it was just show [OK]. Does this cause any problem in ansible playbook? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Fix this problem. Cause of the issue. I am using old version of service wrapper script for elasticsearch. After update \* /etc/init.d/elasticsearch\* everything is working fine.
