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? Marc ---
