Using the Script Module in Ansible

Question

I want to run this command:

setarch $(uname -m) --uname-2.6 /opt/files/IBM/ITM/install.sh -q -h /opt/files/IBM/ITM/Install -p /opt/files/silent_install.txt

in Ansible using the script module but I'm not sure how to incorporate the extra args.

Firstly, you don't run an executable using script module, but using a command or shell module.

Secondly, you should utilise Ansible facts for that. The architecture (the result of uname -m) is stored in the ansible_facts.architecture fact:

command: setarch {{ ansible_facts.architecture }} --uname-2.6 /opt/files/IBM/ITM/install.sh -q -h /opt/files/IBM/ITM/Install -p /opt/files/silent_install.txt

See the examples here; just type them in.

# Example from Ansible Playbooks
- script: /some/local/script.sh --some-arguments 1234

...but I recommend using copy or template with command or shell as techraf suggests.
