That's working. But I guess here i have to hard code the command. Is there any way where i can pass any command at the run time to execute on the remote host.
I saw the raw module and below are the behavior i got. working: /usr/bin/ansible test -m raw -a netstat -tanpu | /bin/awk '{print $5}' | sort -n | uniq -cd | sort -n | awk '$1 > 3{printf ("%5s\t%s\n", $1, $2)}' Not working /usr/bin/ansible test -m raw -a netstat -an | grep :8080 On Wednesday, September 21, 2016 at 1:21:29 PM UTC+5:30, Kai Stian Olstad wrote: > > On 20.09.2016 10:00, DHAVAL JAISWAL wrote: > > Ansible version: ansible 1.9.2 > > > > I am unable to execute following command from shell module neither > > through > > playbook.
