Hello

Thanks for your valuable inputs

after setting up SSH between the Linux and OpenVMS node, the

ansible openvms-01 -m ping

succesfully connects to the remote system (via ssh), then 
sends
'/bin/sh -c '"'"'echo ~SYSTEM && sleep 0'"'"''

but this is an illegal command on OpenVMS which has a specific shell named 
DCL.

So, now, how to specifiy a correct command for the OpenVMS host and check 
the reply.
