Hi, When using double quotes around windows paths, you usually have to use 2 backslashes for the path separator, so something like the following might work, although I think it might try and look for a program called 'klmover.exe -address 172.16.1.1' (instead of treating the -address 172.16.1.1 as arguments for the klmover.exe)
raw: c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /C "C:\\Program Files\\Kaspersky Lab\\Network Agent\\klmover.exe -address 172.16.1.1" You might not need to run via the cmd.exe though so perhaps try: raw: "C:\\Program Files\\Kaspersky Lab\\Network Agent\\klmover.exe" -address 171.16.1.1 However, if you are using ansible 2.2 use win_command (or win_shell) modules instead of 'raw'. Try something like this (which I think is easier to read than the others above). win_command: klmover -address 172.16.1.1 args: chdir: C:\Program Files\Kaspersky Lab\Network Agent\ Hope this helps, Jon On Wednesday, February 1, 2017 at 2:18:40 PM UTC, Dimitri Yioulos wrote: > > Hi, all. > > Another probably simple question that I need help with: > > I need to run a program utility on several machines, as follows: > > C:\Program Files\Kaspersky Lab\Network Agent\klmover.exe -address > 172.16.1.1 > > I've tried running it using the raw command > raw: c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /C "C:\Program Files\Kaspersky > Lab\Network Agent\klmover.exe -address 172.16.1.1" > > I've tried several combinations of quotes around the command, and changing > slashes/backslashes, but am not able to find a means to keep Ansible from > complaining e.g. ""'C:\\Program' is not recognized as an internal or > external command". I think it has more to do with the spaces in the path. > Anyway, I would appreciate your help. > > Many thanks. > > Dimitri > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
