The command module takes the command name followed by a list of space-delimited arguments.
|
|
The given command will be executed on all selected nodes. It will not be processed through the shell, so variables like ``$HOME`` and operations like ``"<"``, ``">"``, ``"|"``, and ``"&"`` will not work. As such, all paths to commands must be fully qualified

<p>Example from Ansible Playbooks</p> <p><pre>
|
|
command /sbin/shutdown -t now
|
|
</pre></p>
|
|
<p><em>creates</em>, <em>removes</em>, and <em>chdir</em> can be specified after the command. For instance, if you only want to run a command if a certain file does not exist, use this.</p> <p><pre>
|
|
command /usr/bin/make_database.sh arg1 arg2 creates=/path/to/database
|
|
</pre></p>

<h4>Notes</h4>
|
|
<p>If you want to run a command through the shell (say you are using <code><</code>, <code>></code>, <code>|</code>, etc), you actually want the <span class='module'>shell</span> module instead. The <span class='module'>command</span> module is much more secure as it's not affected by the user's environment.</p>
