HI All,

In our environment we have HP automation tool which can run any type of scripting language provided if that supported by servers. we are writing shell scripts and pushing from HP tool to our linux servers which are RHEL & OEL (6 & 7 versions). Now we are looking if yaml script can be run directly on Linux servers ?

Yes Vamsi, Ansible should be able to run as you described. There are a number of ways to accomplish what I think you are looking for, I recommend looking into “local\_actions” or specifying the connection to be localhost.  
I hope this helps

Only for OS X, but that is a generic problem with that platform, the  
rest advise you issues with arguments, which you can work around.
