Shell Plugins
-------------
Shell plugins work transparently to ensure that the basic commands Ansible runs are properly formated to work with the target machine.
Enabling Shell Plugins
++++++++++++++++++++++
.. warning:: These plugins should not be reconfigured unless you have a restricted or exotic setup
in which the default ``/bin/sh`` is not a POSIX compatible shell or not availble for execution.
In addition to modifying the default configuration settings in :doc:`../config`, you can use a 'connection variable' :ref:`ansible_shell_type` to select a shell plugin, and update the :ref:`ansible_executable` to match.
