C(absent) will block execution untile the processs no longer exists, or until the timeout has been reached. - When waiting for C(present), the module will return changed only if the process was not present on the initial check but became present on subsequent checks. - If, while waiting for C(absent), new processes matching the supplied pattern are started, these new processes will not be included in the action. default: present choices: [ absent, present ] timeout: description: - The maximum number of seconds to wait for a for a process to start or stop before erroring out. default: 300 author: - Charles Crossan (@crossan007) ''' EXAMPLES = r''' - name: Wait 300 seconds for all Oracle VirtualBox processes to stop.
