Simple script to clear the production cache and set the read/write permissions.
after the cache is cleared, the permission are set so the www server can access them... note the order is important, cache is cleared first, then perms set on the folders...

you'll need to change the following items to suit your flavour of linux:

    path: "/srv/www/htdocs/var/cache"
    owner: wwwrun
    group: www

and the targeted machines as named in your /etc/ansible/hosts file

  hosts: www

example hosts file:
[www]
192.168.0.1
192.168.0.2
192.168.0.3
