Hi all,

I have some sample script

#!/bin/bash  
#ip=$2  
tar\_file=$1  
bkp\_name=“bkp-$$”

if [-z “${tar\_file}”]; then  
echo “Usage import.sh [tar file]”  
exit 1  
fi  
for keyspace  
do  
keyspace=$(basename “${tar\_file}” “.tar.gz”)

mkdir -p “${bkp\_name}”

tar -xvzf “${tar\_file}” -C “${bkp\_name}”

echo “Drop keyspace ${keyspace}”  
cqlsh localhost -e “drop keyspace "${keyspace}";”

echo “Create empty keyspace: ${keyspace}”  
cat “${bkp\_name}/${keyspace}.sql” | cqlsh localhost

for dir in “${bkp\_name}/${keyspace}/”\*; do  
sstableloader -d localhost${dir}"  
done  
done

How can I include entire script above in ansible-playbook …?

This is a question for ansible-project, in any case, use the script module
