I am confused how Ansible Expect Module will work in my use case. https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/expect_module.html
Is this the Expect Module you mentioned? >From what I can gather, the Expect Module 1. Connects to remote device and immediately sends the command 2. Look for a set of responses 3. When a response is matched, it sends the corresponding response value What I need is: 1. Connect to remote device 2. Look for the remote prompt 3. Sends the command 4. Return the command result to the caller Can you please provive a short example of sending a "ps" command that runs on the remote device using Ansible Expect Module?
