notes:
- If you want to execute a command securely and predictably, it may be
better to use the M(command) module instead. Best practices when writing
playbooks will follow the trend of using M(command) unless the C(shell)
module is explicitly required. When running ad-hoc commands, use your best
judgement.
- To sanitize any variables passed to the shell module, you should use
"{{ var | quote }}" instead of just "{{ var }}" to make sure they don't include evil things like semicolons.
- For Windows targets, use the M(win_shell) module instead.
