Hi,
I am trying the below snippet to detect the established ports. but Ansible throws an error.
`
- name: List the port connections
shell: "netstat -nautp |grep -iE “137|389|445|636” |awk ‘{print $5}’ |cut -d: -f2 |grep -iwE “137|389|445|636”
register: dc_stat
debug:
var: dc_stat.stdout_lines
`
this through’s the error
`
The offending line appears to be:
- name: List the port connections
shell: netstat -nautp |grep -iE “137|389|445|636” |awk ‘{print $5}’ |cut -d: -f2 |grep -iwE “137|389|445|636”
^ here
We could be wrong, but this one looks like it might be an issue with
unbalanced quotes. If starting a value with a quote, make sure the
line ends with the same set of quotes. For instance this arbitrary
example:
foo: “bad” “wolf”
Could be written as:
foo: ‘“bad” “wolf”’
`
I tried inserted a " " for the shell commands and using vars/pipe also …
How can i direct the output of "netstat -nautp |grep -iE “137|389|445|636” |awk ‘{print $5}’ |cut -d: -f2 |grep -iwE “137|389|445|636"” to a variable ?
Or do we have to use backslash() as in shell ?
