All:

Have been playing with Ansible for less than a week and got stumped by this.

Ansible host:
  MacOX 10.10.3
Ansible Version:
  ansible 1.9.0.1
    configured module search path = None

I am testing with two brand new CentOS machines, one with 5.6 and one with 
6.5. That's the versions of OS that I will have to manage at work. Hence 
these two versions for my testing.

Machine 1: CentOS 5.6:
Python version: 2.4.3
Bash version: 3.2.25

Machine 2: CentOS 6.5:
Python version: 2.6.6
Bash version: 4.3.33

Ran:
(os-x-shell)> ansible inc -m ping

It resulted in:

<x.x.x.x> | FAILED >> {
    "failed": true,
    "msg": "/bin/sh: /apps/dftscm/local/python/python-2.7.9/bin/python: No 
such file or directory\r\nOpenSSH_6.2p2, OSSLShim 0.9.8r 8 Dec

    "parsed": false
}

<y.y.y.y> | success >> {
    "changed": false,
    "ping": "pong"
}

Since Ansible needs Python 2.5 or higher, I installed Python 2.7.9 on 
Machine 1 (<x.x.x.x>). 

Configured /etc/ansible/hosts with:
[inc]
<x.x.x.x> ansible_python_interpreter=/apps/dftscm/local/python/bin/python
<y.y.y.y>

Ran:
(os-x-shell)> ansible inc -m ping

As expected, it worked!

However, despite the fact that I have defined a JAVA_HOME environment 
variable in the .bashrc for each machine's Unix account that I am using to 
connect over SSH, the following ansible command yields different results:

(os-x-shell)> ansible inc -m shell -a 'echo $JAVA_HOME'
<x.x.x.x> | success | rc=0 >>


<y.y.y.y> | success | rc=0 >>
/usr/local/jdk

Why is it blank for the machine running CentOS 5.6?? Is it because it I am 
using an older version of RedHat with older version of bash?? 

Is there something conceptual about the shell module that I am missing??

Cheers

Anand
