install F-Secure

Hi,

I have to install F-Secure.
It comes as a single file script/BLOB which installs RPMs and does stuff - and is a real pain ...

I need the install script f-secure-linux-security-9.20.2520 at the remote machine.

The script has to be invoked with parameters like "--command-line-only".
The install script then could be deleted.

One configuration file has to be altered. (This is easy.)

How do I achieve this best with ansible?

With a copy and a shell task?
Or is there a better way?

The documentation of the module script says:
"The local script at path will be transfered to the remote node and then executed."
But there is only one parameter and the file is somewhere under /etc/ansible on my ansible host and in i.e. /tmp on the remote machine. Can local and remote path differ?

Something like:

- name: temporary f-secure install script
  copy: src=relative/path/to/local/f-secure-linux-security-9.20.2520
        dest=/tmp/f-secure-linux-security-9.20.2520

- name: run f-secure installer
  command: /tmp/f-secure-linux-security-9.20.2520 --command-line-only
--another-option

- name: remove f-secure install script
  file: name=/tmp/f-secure-linux-security-9.20.2520 state=absent
