# There is actually no actual shell module source, when you use 'shell' in ansible,

# it runs the 'command' module with special arguments and it behaves differently.

# See the command source and the comment "#USE_SHELL".

description:

|
- The shell module takes the command name followed by a list of arguments,
|
|
space delimited. It is almost exactly like the M(command) module but runs
|
|
the command through a shell (C(/bin/sh)) on the remote node.

|
|
notes:
|
|
- If you want to execute a command securely and predictably, it may be
|
|
better to use the M(command) module instead. Best practices when writing
|
|
playbooks will follow the trend of using M(command) unless M(shell) is
|
|
explicitly required. When running ad-hoc commands, use your best
|
|
judgement.
