Hi Alex, are you breaking this command up over multiple lines by any
chance? With the current devel branch, the shell module will interpret
newlines as the start of a new command to execute, so doing this:
- shell: |
echo
$(cat /path/to/foo)
will result in the contents of the file "foo" being executed similar to
what you're seeing above.
