Hi

For simple fire & forget commands with ansible there is no requirement  
to go over the hosts sequentially. Ideally i'd use strategy=free - but  
that doesn't seem to be possible with ansible, only with  
ansible-playbook?  
Any other way to achieve this?

thx

prefixing the whole adhoc line with "ANSIBLE\_STRATEGY=free" does the trick!
