I know that ansible can not show realtime output of commands to user consle.  
[https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/3887](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/3887)

But I want to see commands and realtime output.

@bcoca suggested me about ansible log.  
[https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/11233](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/11233)

I tried.  
But ansible log is not realtime and does not contain commands and stdout.

Current my solution is

- shell “echo ‘make’ \>\> /var/log/ansible.log 2\>&1 && make \>\> /var/log/ansible.log 2\>&1”

I hope that ansible support realtime output log like shell.

Please imagine user who is new to Linux.  
The user never see commands and output in the ansible world.  
That is not good.
