Hello,

I have a plenty or ansible roles for various administrative tasks, and I sometimes want to run a single role on a host. Also, now and then, I stumble upon a role in a github repo and I wonder how would it work for me; and want to quickly try it out. I wrote a simple script to automate such effort, and I put it on github. I would like to share the script, maybe someone else will find it useful too.

It’s in  
[https://github.com/t0mk/ansible-utils](https://github.com/t0mk/ansible-utils)

as  
ansible-apply-role-to-host

I hope this group is the place to share such stuff.

Cheers,  
Tomas
