Shell plugins work transparently to ensure that the basic commands Ansible runs are properly formatted to work with the target machine.

You can add a custom shell plugin by dropping it into a ``shell_plugins`` directory adjacent to your play, inside a role,
|
|
|
|
|
or by putting it in one of the shell plugin directory sources configured in :doc:`ansible.cfg <../config>`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. warning:: You should not alter the configuration for these plugins unless you have a setup
|
|
|
|
|
in which the default ``/bin/sh`` is not a POSIX compatible shell or is not availble for execution.

|
In addition to the default configuration settings in :doc:`../config`,
|
|
|
|
|
you can use a 'connection variable' :ref:`ansible_shell_type` to select the plugin to use.
|
|
|
|
|
In this case, you will also want to update the :ref:`ansible_executable` to match.
