SSM Run Command - Task will pass when command execution fails

[ghost]

When running SSM Run Command (AWS-RunShellScript) the task will run and reports success even when the command execution fails.

Expected behavior: Run Command wait for command exit code report task status ..next task

[stevejroberts]

Run command execution is an asynchronous operation, so the success indication is that the command was queued with Systems Manager. We'll need to add an option to wait, polling the command id for status, to determine if the actual run was successful.

understood, can we add this as a feature request? my use case is I need to run some commands in sequence on an instance.

[stevejroberts]

Sure! I can't promise any particular ETA right now however.

hi @steveataws , know you guy are super busy but do we have an eta on this request yet ? would be super handy :)

[stevejroberts]

I don't have any specific ETA at the moment and have in fact changed teams so am not directly responsible for these tools anymore, although I still work on them out of interest and to help my old team out. Let me see if I can get this resolved with the next batch of updates.
