I am new to Ansible and started using it for a while. I have one question on Ansible Ad-hoc command using a shell module with a passed args 'chdir'. I am having a problem using the argument 'chdir' in Ansible CLI. The same
works if i try to include in my playbook but don't know why it can't be
accomplished via CLI.

Few question that came across on my mind

1. Are all the features supported in playbook is equally supported in
Ansible CLI ?

2. If the step 1 is true then what is the best pattern to pass args in CLI?

The command that I try to execute via CLI is

ansible all -m shell -a "chdir /tmp ; wc-l" (--consider every set up and connection has been established between all of my hosts defined in default
inventory file )

In a nutshell--I am trying to change the directory using chdir only via CLI.

Any suggestion will be really appreciated for this newbie. ;)


This will run the pwd command in the /etc directory

ansible all -m shell -a 'pwd chdir=/etc'
