Hello,

I would like to know how it is possible with a command to be able to both transfer execute and delete a python script via a playbook. Currently I do it in 3 lines: 1) Transfer 2) Execute 3) Delete.

I could see on different forum that we could use the function “script”

My current playbook :  
hosts: host

- name: download python script  
copy:  
src: /etc/ansible/xxxx/python.py  
dest: /etc/sssd/
- name: execute python script  
command: python /etc/sssd/python.py
- name: delete python script  
command: rm /etc/sssd/python.py

In fact, I would like to be able to transfer the python script, execute it and delete it because I do not want to store it on the machine where it runs.

(example command “script” find on internet) I tried it but it does not work :

- hosts: my-servers sudo: true tasks: - script: /home/stuart/scripts/setup.sh --creates /home/stuart/installed-git.txt

Thanks a lot for answer.

Vincent
