1) no clue, that would not work with the plugin Ansible ships with (just tested and vmware plugin skips that file)
2) you are confusing inventory plugins and inventory scripts, the plugins require a 'source', one of the plugins is the 'script' plugin, which uses 'inventory scripts' ... these need to be executable for the 'script' plugin to use. So executable bit depends on what the inventory plugin requires, script is the only one that ships with Ansible that requires this. 3) yeah, /etc/ansible/hosts is the default, so if no -i is supplied, that will be used when using -i /direcotry/ all the files in the directory will be looked at for execution, each file will be passed to each active inventory plugin and the plugin will decide if it takes the file (needs to meet certain criteria) or passes, if it takes the file it will attempt to parse it, if it fails, the next plugin will try. ---------- Brian Coca -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
