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. - If the path to the local script contains spaces, it needs to be quoted. 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 '''
