I am trying to write a script that will automatically reboot servers in our environment. We are using ansible-playbook -i rebootlist reboot.yml for rebooting 100 servers at a time as we have around 400 servers and its needs to reboot in a order. So, i came up with this:
for j in $(cat rebootlist); do for k in $(cat $j); do ansible-playbook -i $k reboot.yml >> $output; done; done
here,
rebootlist has 4 list of 100 servers.
$ cat rebootlist
reboot00
reboot02
reboot03
reboot04
I am getting this warning below
[WARNING]: No inventory was parsed, only implicit localhost is available
[WARNING]: provided hosts list is empty, only localhost is available. Note that the implicit localhost does not match 'all'
Thanks RaalK

Let's simplify the data a bit. For example, given the files
shell> cat rebootlist
reboot00
reboot02
shell> cat reboot00
host000
host099
shell> cat reboot02
host100
host199
In the playbook below create a dynamic group in the first play and use it in the second, e.g.
shell> cat reboot.yml
- hosts: localhost
gather_facts: false
tasks:
- add_host:
name: "{{ item }}"
groups: "{{ group }}"
loop: "{{ lookup('file', group).splitlines() }}"
- hosts: "{{ group }}"
gather_facts: false
tasks:
- debug:
msg: "Reboot {{ inventory_hostname }}"
Then iterate the items from the file rebootlist.e.g.
shell> for j in $(cat rebootlist); do ansible-playbook -e group=$j reboot.yml; done
gives (abridged)
