A bug in \fCapt-add-repository\fR always adds \fCdeb\fR and \fCdeb-src\fR types for repositories (see the issue on Launchpad \fIhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+bug/987264\fR), if a repo doesn't have source information (eg MongoDB repo from 10gen) the system will fail while updating repositories.

.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
Assembles a configuration file from fragments. Often a particular program will take a single configuration file and does not support a \fCconf.d\fR style structure where it is easy to build up the configuration from multiple sources. Assemble will take a directory of files that have already been transferred to the system, and concatenate them together to produce a destination file. Files are assembled in string sorting order. Puppet calls this idea \fIfragments\fR.

." ------ DESCRIPTION
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The command module takes the command name followed by a list of space-delimited arguments.
.PP
The given command will be executed on all selected nodes. It will not be processed through the shell, so variables like \fC$HOME\fR and operations like \fC"<"\fR, \fC">"\fR, \fC"|"\fR, and \fC"&"\fR will not work. As such, all paths to commands must be fully qualified

.SH NOTES
.PP
If you want to run a command through the shell (say you are using \fC<\fR, \fC>\fR, \fC|\fR, etc), you actually want the \fIshell\fR module instead. The \fIcommand\fR module is much more secure as it's not affected by the user's environment.

." ------ OPTIONS
."

.SH OPTIONS
.IP src
path of the file to link to (applies only to \fCstate=link\fR).
.IP group
name of the group that should own the file/directory, as would be fed to \fIchown\fR
.IP dest
defines the file being managed, unless when used with \fIstate=link\fR, and then sets the destination to create a symbolic link to using \fIsrc\fR(required)
.IP selevel
level part of the SELinux file context. This is the MLS/MCS attribute, sometimes known as the \fCrange\fR. \fC_default\fR feature works as for \fIseuser\fR. (default: s0)
.IP seuser
user part of SELinux file context. Will default to system policy, if applicable. If set to \fC_default\fR, it will use the \fCuser\fR portion of the the policy if available
.IP state
If \fCdirectory\fR, all immediate subdirectories will be created if they do not exist. If \fCfile\fR, the file will NOT be created if it does not exist, see the \fIcopy\fR or \fItemplate\fR module if you want that behavior. If \fClink\fR, the symbolic link will be created or changed. If \fCabsent\fR, directories will be recursively deleted, and files or symlinks will be unlinked.
.IR Choices :
file,link,directory,absent. (default: file)
.IP serole
role part of SELinux file context, \fC_default\fR feature works as for \fIseuser\fR.
.IP mode
mode the file or directory should be, such as 0644 as would be fed to
.IP context
accepts only \fCdefault\fR as value. This will restore a file's SELinux context in the policy. Does nothing if no default value is available.
.IR Choices :
default.
.IP owner
name of the user that should own the file/directory, as would be fed to \fIchown\fR
.IP force
force is required when changing an existing file to a directory, or a link to a directory, and so on. Use this with caution.

." generated from library/nagios
.SH NAME
nagios \- Perform common tasks in Nagios related to downtime and notifications.
." ------ DESCRIPTION
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The \fInagios\fR module has two basic functions: scheduling downtime and toggling alerts for services or hosts.
.PP
All actions require the \fChost\fR parameter to be given explicitly. In playbooks you can use the \fC$inventory_hostname\fR variable to refer to the host the playbook is currently running on.
.PP
You can specify multiple services at once by separating them with commas, .e.g., \fCservices=httpd,nfs,puppet\fR.
.PP
When specifying what service to handle there is a special service value, \fIhost\fR, which will handle alerts/downtime for the \fIhost itself\fR, e.g., \fCservice=host\fR. This keyword may not be given with other services at the same time. \fISetting alerts/downtime for a host does not affect alerts/downtime for any of the services running on it.\fR
.PP
When using the \fInagios\fR module you will need to specify your nagios server using the \fCdelegate_to\fR parameter.
." ------ OPTIONS

Pauses playbook execution for a set amount of time, or until a prompt is acknowledged. All parameters are optional. The default behavior is to pause with a prompt.

The pause module integrates into async/parallelized playbooks without any special considerations (see also: Rolling Updates). When using pauses with the \fCserial\fR playbook parameter (as in rolling updates) you are only prompted once for the current group of hosts.

postgresql_user \- Adds or removes a users (roles) from a PostgreSQL database.
." ------ DESCRIPTION
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
Add or remove PostgreSQL users (roles) from a remote host and, optionally, grant the users access to an existing database or tables.
.PP
The fundamental function of the module is to create, or delete, roles from a PostgreSQL cluster. Privilege assignment, or removal, is an optional step, which works on one database at a time. This allows for the module to be called several times in the same module to modify the permissions on different databases, or to grant permissions to already existing users.
.PP
A user cannot be removed untill all the privileges have been stripped from the user. In such situation, if the module tries to remove the user it will fail. To avoid this from happening the fail_on_user option signals the module to try to remove the user, but if not possible keep going; the module will report if changes happened and separately if the user was removed or not.

.PP
Executes a low-down and dirty SSH command, not going through the module subsystem. This is useful and should only be done in two cases. The first case is installing python-simplejson on older (Python 2.4 and before) hosts that need it as a dependency to run modules, since nearly all core modules require it. Another is speaking to any devices such as routers that do not have any Python installed. In any other case, using the \fIshell\fR or \fIcommand\fR module is much more appropriate. Arguments given to \fIraw\fR are run directly through the configured remote shell and only output is returned. There is no error detection or change handler support for this module

.PP
This module is automatically called by playbooks to gather useful variables about remote hosts that can be used in playbooks. It can also be executed directly by \fC/usr/bin/ansible\fR to check what variables are available to a host. Ansible provides many \fIfacts\fR about the system, automatically.

.SH NOTES
.PP
More ansible facts will be added with successive releases. If \fIfacter\fR or \fIohai\fR are installed, variables from these programs will also be snapshotted into the JSON file for usage in templating. These variables are prefixed with \fCfacter_\fR and \fCohai_\fR so it's easy to tell their source. All variables are bubbled up to the caller. Using the ansible facts and choosing to not install \fIfacter\fR and \fIohai\fR means you can avoid Ruby-dependencies on your remote systems.

.SH NAME
shell \- Execute commands in nodes.
." ------ DESCRIPTION
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The shell module takes the command name followed by a list of arguments, space delimited. It is almost exactly like the \fIcommand\fR module but runs the command through a shell (\fC/bin/sh\fR) on the remote node.

."
." ------ NOTES
.SH NOTES
.PP
If you want to execute a command securely and predicably, it may be better to use the \fIcommand\fR module instead. Best practices when writing playbooks will follow the trend of using \fIcommand\fR unless \fIshell\fR is explicitly required. When running ad-hoc commands, use your best judgement.
