" - "The local script at path will be transferred to the remote node and then executed. " - "The given script will be processed through the shell environment on the remote node. " - "This module does not require python on the remote system, much like the M(raw) module. " - This module is also supported for Windows targets. options: free_form: description: - path to the local script file followed by optional arguments. There is no parameter actually named 'free form'; see the examples! required: true default: null aliases: [] creates: description: - a filename, when it already exists, this step will B(not) be run. required: no default: null version_added: "1.5" removes: description: - a filename, when it does not exist, this step will B(not) be run. required: no default: null version_added: "1.5" notes: - It is usually preferable to write Ansible modules than pushing scripts. Convert your script to an Ansible module for bonus points! - The ssh connection plugin will force pseudo-tty allocation via -tt when scripts are executed. pseudo-ttys do not have a stderr channel and all stderr is sent to stdout. If you depend on separated stdout and stderr result keys, please switch to a copy+command set of tasks instead of using script. - This module is also supported for Windows targets. author: - Ansible Core Team - Michael DeHaan extends_documentation_fragment: - decrypt """ EXAMPLES = ''' # Example from Ansible Playbooks - script: /some/local/script.sh --some-arguments 1234 # Run a script that creates a file, but only if the file is not yet created - script: /some/local/create_file.sh --some-arguments 1234 args: creates: /the/created/file.txt # Run a script that removes a file, but only if the file is not yet removed - script: /some/local/remove_file.sh --some-arguments 1234 args: removes: /the/removed/file.txt '''
