Does Ansible not support bash's process substitution <http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/process-sub.html>?
My project maintains separate inventory files, and there are some playbooks that need hosts from certain combinations of them. Instead of having pre-concatenated files that could go out of sync, I'd like to do something like: $ ansible-playbook -i <(cat inventorya inventoryb) playbook.yml I get this error though when I try it: ERROR: provided hosts list is empty I haven't looked at the Ansible source, but this may be because process substitution uses an fifo under the hood, and Ansible may be strictly looking for a file, but this is just wild speculation.
