Use the M(ansible.builtin.shell) module if you need these features. - To create C(command) tasks that are easier to read than the ones using space-delimited arguments, pass parameters using the C(args) L(task keyword,https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices/playbooks_keywords.html#task) or use C(cmd) parameter. - Either a free form command or C(cmd) parameter is required, see the examples. - For Windows targets, use the M(ansible.windows.win_command) module instead. extends_documentation_fragment: - action_common_attributes - action_common_attributes.raw attributes: check_mode: details: while the command itself is arbitrary and cannot be subject to the check mode semantics it adds C(creates)/C(removes) options as a workaround support: partial diff_mode: support: none platform: support: full platforms: posix raw: support: full options: free_form: description: - The command module takes a free form string as a command to run. - There is no actual parameter named 'free form'. cmd: type: str description: - The command to run. argv: type: list elements: str description: - Passes the command as a list rather than a string. - Use C(argv) to avoid quoting values that would otherwise be interpreted incorrectly (for example "user name"). - Only the string (free form) or the list (argv) form can be provided, not both. One or the other must be provided. version_added: "2.6" creates: type: path description: - A filename or (since 2.0) glob pattern. If a matching file already exists, this step B(will not) be run. - This is checked before I(removes) is checked. removes: type: path description: - A filename or (since 2.0) glob pattern. If a matching file exists, this step B(will) be run. - This is checked after I(creates) is checked. version_added: "0.8" chdir: type: path description: - Change into this directory before running the command. version_added: "0.6" stdin: description: - Set the stdin of the command directly to the specified value. type: str version_added: "2.4" stdin_add_newline: type: bool default: yes description: - If set to C(true), append a newline to stdin data. version_added: "2.8" strip_empty_ends: description: - Strip empty lines from the end of stdout/stderr in result. version_added: "2.8" type: bool default: yes notes: - If you want to run a command through the shell (say you are using C(<), C(>), C(|), and so on), you actually want the M(ansible.builtin.shell) module instead. Parsing shell metacharacters can lead to unexpected commands being executed if quoting is not done correctly so it is more secure to use the C(command) module when possible. - C(creates), C(removes), and C(chdir) 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. - Check mode is supported when passing C(creates) or C(removes). If running in check mode and either of these are specified, the module will check for the existence of the file and report the correct changed status. If these are not supplied, the task will be skipped. - The C(executable) parameter is removed since version 2.4. If you have a need for this parameter, use the M(ansible.builtin.shell) module instead. - For Windows targets, use the M(ansible.windows.win_command) module instead. - For rebooting systems, use the M(ansible.builtin.reboot) or M(ansible.windows.win_reboot) module. seealso: - module: ansible.builtin.raw - module: ansible.builtin.script - module: ansible.builtin.shell - module: ansible.windows.win_command author: - Ansible Core Team - Michael DeHaan ''' EXAMPLES = r''' - name: Return motd to registered var ansible.builtin.command: cat /etc/motd register: mymotd # free-form (string) arguments, all arguments on one line - name: Run command if /path/to/database does not exist (without 'args') ansible.builtin.command: /usr/bin/make_database.sh db_user db_name creates=/path/to/database # free-form (string) arguments, some arguments on separate lines with the 'args' keyword # 'args' is a task keyword, passed at the same level as the module - name: Run command if /path/to/database does not exist (with 'args' keyword) ansible.builtin.command: /usr/bin/make_database.sh db_user db_name args: creates: /path/to/database # 'cmd' is module parameter - name: Run command if /path/to/database does not exist (with 'cmd' parameter) ansible.builtin.command: cmd: /usr/bin/make_database.sh db_user db_name creates: /path/to/database - name: Change the working directory to somedir/ and run the command as db_owner if /path/to/database does not exist ansible.builtin.command: /usr/bin/make_database.sh db_user db_name become: yes become_user: db_owner args: chdir: somedir/ creates: /path/to/database # argv (list) arguments, each argument on a separate line, 'args' keyword not necessary # 'argv' is a parameter, indented one level from the module - name: Use 'argv' to send a command as a list - leave 'command' empty ansible.builtin.command: argv: - /usr/bin/make_database.sh - Username with whitespace - dbname with whitespace creates: /path/to/database - name: Safely use templated variable to run command.
