Ansible adhoc command

Question

I am executing ansible adhoc command

ansible hosts -m shell -a 'df -P | awk '0+$5 >=30 {print}''
#ERROR! Missing target hosts

The single quotes that we use for awk print is conflicting with the -a '' command that we use.

I tried below formats no luck. I believe there is way to escape '

ansible hosts -m command -a 'df -P|awk '0+$5 >=30 {print}''
ansible hosts -m command -a "df -P|awk '0+$5 >=30 {print}'"
ansible hosts -m command -a 'df -P|awk "0+$5 >=30 {print}"'

Anyone has tried this before.

Answer 1

You can use " with awk and ' for -aoption, like below:

ansible hosts -m shell -a 'df -P | awk "0+$5 >=30 {print}"'
