porting @dominis 's ansible-shell tool from 1.9 and integrating it into ansible
added verbosity control
made more resilitent to several errors
added highlight color, to configurable colors
more resilient on exception and interruptions
prompt coloring, goes red and changes to # when using become = true and root
become setting is now explicit and not a toggle
Having used this script several times today, I came to notice the $SubjectName variable, being passed in via the CLI, is essentially ignored when generating the SSL certificates, rendering it useless. I believe it's a good idea to have it in place, so I've updated the script to reflect this.
I also cleaned up some random new lines throughout the file, and expanded on a comment.
It might be worth going a step further and commenting the file fully, as most people reviewing this file won't be familiar with PowerShell (like I wasn't unitl a few days ago). It could be helpful.
* allow global no_log setting, no need to set at play or task level, but can be overriden by them
* allow turning off syslog only on task execution from target host (manage_syslog), overlaps with no_log functionality
* created log function for task modules to use, now we can remove all syslog references, will use systemd journal if present
* added debug flag to modules, so they can make it call new log function conditionally
* added debug logging in module's run_command
The current script fails on machines which have network interfaces designated
as connected to "Public" networks (choices for network designation being
Private, Domain, Public). This commit changes the script to NOT prevent winrm
initialization when device is connected to a "Public" network.
Replace .iteritems() with six.iteritems() everywhere except in
module_utils (because there's no 'six' on the remote host). And except
in lib/ansible/galaxy/data/metadata_template.j2, because I'm not sure
six is available there.
* now it uses -n to get immediate error if no password is supplied and one is needed,
this should fix the issue with sudo hanging waiting for input.
* made -k configurable, this can break changing become_users in play if left out,
but opens up the possiblity of OTP support.
* enable batch mode (configurable with a config option, on by default)
for sftp transfers, so we can catch errors more easily
* general cleanup in the local connection plugin and fetch action plugin
