Shell Plugins
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
These plugins work behind the scenes making sure the basic commands Ansible runs,
|
|
in order to be able to execute a task's action,
|
|
are properly formated to work with the target machine.
|
|
|
|
You normally don't have to wory about these plugins at all,
|
|
unless you have a restricted or exotic setup,
|
|
in which the default ``/bin/sh`` is not a POSIX compatible shell or not availble for execution.

You probably never need to do this, but aside from the defaul configuration settings in :doc:`../config`,
|
|
you can use a 'connection variable' :ref:`ansible_shell_type` to select the plugin to use,
|
|
you will also want to update the :ref:`ansible_executable` to match.
