[ansible-devel] Need to execute complex unix commands
Hi All, I need to execute complex shell commands on remote or local hosts. What is the best way to this? I tried multiple ways. Either it is not passing Ansible syntax, or shell script syntax Example: Suppose I want to execute this command echo "ps -ef|grep data"|sed 's~[^[:alnum:]/]\+~~g'|sed "s/$/$(date +"%d_%m_%Y_%H_%M_%S")/" It gives following output on shell : psefgrepdata09_04_2018_12_08_55 But somehow I am not able to execute. Urgent help please ? Thanks, Akash -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Development" group.

[ansible-devel] Pause and Resume Ansible Playbooks without editing the YAML playbook
Hi All, Our team have been trying to develop some GUI for the ansible execution and I wanted to know if there is some way to pause and resume the execution of the playbook midway with just command line argument. I am familiar with the Pause option but that needs to be added in the YAML, we don't want that. I am also familiar with the --step argument passed on the CLI, that's close to what we want but not specifically.
