Hi All,

I have a requirement to login to multiple application servers and just run different scripts individually on different servers  
Rather than creating task for each server - I would like to just create one task with name of the shell script in a variable

How can we implement this

Eg :  
====inventory file===

[APP]  
[host1.example.com](http://host1.example.com) path=/home/app script=start.sh

[host2.example.com](http://host2.example.com) path=/home/app2 script=echo y | start\_app.sh

===YAML file===
