Hello Experts,

Good Day!!

I was searching for some solution on my ansible playbook where i want run an application inbuilt .sh script with arguments and corresponding mapped values.

the below is the command which i can successfully execute in terminal window.

I tried with both shell and command and script modules in ansible, but no luck…

./repotools-jts.sh -setup repositoryURL=[https://myappurl:9443/jts](https://myappurl:9443/jts) responsefile=response.properties adminUserId=mydomainID adminPassword=passwd

Check the path of properties file on the target server, it appears to me that it is not able to find the path of the property file.

Running with -vvv option would help.
