It will not be processed through the shell, so variables like C($env:HOME) and operations like C("<"), C(">"), C("|"), and C(";") will not work (use the M(win_shell) module if you need these features). - For non-Windows targets, use the M(command) module instead. options: free_form: description: - The C(win_command) module takes a free form command to run. - There is no parameter actually named 'free form'. See the examples! type: str required: yes creates: description: - A path or path filter pattern; when the referenced path exists on the target host, the task will be skipped. type: path removes: description: - A path or path filter pattern; when the referenced path B(does not) exist on the target host, the task will be skipped. type: path chdir: description: - Set the specified path as the current working directory before executing a command. type: path stdin: description: - Set the stdin of the command directly to the specified value. type: str version_added: '2.5' output_encoding_override: description: - This option overrides the encoding of stdout/stderr output. - You can use this option when you need to run a command which ignore the console's codepage. - You should only need to use this option in very rare circumstances. - This value can be any valid encoding C(Name) based on the output of C([System.Text.Encoding]::GetEncodings()). See U(https://docs.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.text.encoding.getencodings). type: str version_added: '2.10' notes: - If you want to run a command through a shell (say you are using C(<), C(>), C(|), etc), you actually want the M(win_shell) module instead. The C(win_command) module is much more secure as it's not affected by the user's environment. - 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. seealso: - module: command - module: psexec - module: raw - module: win_psexec - module: win_shell author: - Matt Davis (@nitzmahone) ''' EXAMPLES = r''' - name: Save the result of 'whoami' in 'whoami_out' win_command: whoami register: whoami_out - name: Run command that only runs if folder exists and runs from a specific folder win_command: wbadmin -backupTarget:C:\backup\ args: chdir: C:\somedir\ creates: C:\backup\ - name: Run an executable and send data to the stdin for the executable win_command: powershell.exe - args: stdin: Write-Host test ''' RETURN = r''' msg: description: changed returned: always type: bool sample: true start: description: The command execution start time returned: always type: str sample: '2016-02-25 09:18:26.429568' end: description: The command execution end time returned: always type: str sample: '2016-02-25 09:18:26.755339' delta: description: The command execution delta time returned: always type: str sample: '0:00:00.325771' stdout: description: The command standard output returned: always type: str sample: 'Clustering node rabbit@slave1 with rabbit@master ...' stderr: description: The command standard error returned: always type: str sample: 'ls: cannot access foo: No such file or directory' cmd: description: The command executed by the task returned: always type: str sample: 'rabbitmqctl join_cluster rabbit@master' rc: description: The command return code (0 means success) returned: always type: int sample: 0 stdout_lines: description: The command standard output split in lines returned: always type: list sample: [u'Clustering node rabbit@slave1 with rabbit@master ...'] '''
