Shell Plugins
Shell plugins work transparently to ensure that the basic commands Ansible runs are properly formatted to work with the target machine.
Enabling Shell Plugins
You can add a custom shell plugin by dropping it into a
shell_plugins directory adjacent to your play, inside a
role, or by putting it in one of the shell plugin directory sources
configured in ansible.cfg <../config>.
Warning
You should not alter the configuration for these plugins unless you
have a setup in which the default /bin/sh is not a POSIX
compatible shell or is not availble for execution.
Using Shell Plugins
In addition to the default configuration settings in ../config, you can use a
'connection variable' ansible_shell_type to select the plugin to use. In
this case, you will also want to update the ansible_executable to
match.
