What is the command line to have Ansible schedule a job template with variables. We have some 30+ job templates and need a way to schedule the jobs at requested time. So we have an interface program that know each job template variables and can create and run the command line to the Ansible Tower where the job templates are defined in. All document I found use the Ansible Tower console to schedule the jobs. We need the program to do the work of scheduling the jobs. Any help will be usefully. Thank for your help. **Timothy McGibbon** GDIT – USPS Middleware Services Enterprise Computing Services 2825 Lone Oak Parkway Eagan, MN 55121-9320 Direct:(651) 406-1597 Cell: (651) 403-9766 Group email: [ECS Middleware](mailto:ECS%20Middleware) e-Mail: [Timothy.N.Mcgibbon@usps.gov](mailto:Timothy.N.Mcgibbon@usps.gov) P Please consider the environment before printing this email. ---
