notes:

- If you want to run a command through the shell (say you are using C(<),
|
||||
C(>), C(|), etc), you must specify a shell in the command such as
|
||||
C(/bin/bash -c "/path/to/something | grep else")
|
||||
C(/bin/bash -c "/path/to/something | grep else").

|

- By default, if a question is encountered multiple times, its string

question matches, instead of a string response, use a list of strings as

the response. The list functionality is new in 2.1

- The M(expect) module is designed for simple scenarios. For more complex

needs, consider the use of expect code with the M(shell) or M(script)

modules. (An example is part of the M(shell) module documentation)
