Hi Chris, Provisioning templates are for provisioning the hosts, they are used by kickstart, preseed, etc to build the host and configure it for the first time. It sounds like you want to run a command on a host, in that case you should have a look at foreman_remote_execution plugin which can do this via SSH. https://theforeman.org/plugins/foreman_remote_execution/0.3/index.html - Stephen -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Foreman users" group.
