If you are planning to use it as part of a “shell” module, this provides an attribute to specify the shell to be used.

The attribute for the module is “executable”.

I’m maybe wrong, but it is my understanding that ansible modules don’t use a shell underneath (except the shell module).

If you want to use a task to remotely run a command, you should use the shell/command module.
