Hi Todd: Try and read: http://docs.ansible.com/command_module.html
What you are doing is executing shell commands, this is done through the shell module, not the command module, which you are now misusing. As you can already see, changing dir with the command module should take chdir, not cd. Have you tried it with 'shell' instead of 'command'. disclaimer: I'm a noob in generating gpg Kindest regards, Mark On Monday, October 6, 2014 9:18:20 PM UTC+2, Todd Sampson wrote: > > I'm trying to generate pgp keys.
