1. "execute_command": "{{.Vars}} sudo -E -S bash '{{.Path}' '{{user 
`arg1`}}' '{{user `arg2`}}' "  Is this correct? I tried this but since i 
have lot of arguments to be passed it is less readable and error prone.


 2.The problem i am facing is I have lot of variables to be passed as 
arguments and when I run as below:
"execute_command": "{{.Vars}} sudo -E -S bash '{{.Path}' '{{user `arg1`}}' 
'{{user `arg2`}}' \n
                                   '{{user `arg3`}}'   '{{user `arg4`}}' 
'{{user `arg5`}}' \n

Failed to parse template: Error parsing JSON: invalid character '\n' in 
string literal. Could you please help how I can pass multiline arguments?
                                    "
