How can I pass variable to ansible playbook in the command line?

Question

I\'m new to ansible and wonder how to do so as the following didn\'t work

ansible-playbook -i \'10.0.0.1,\' yada-yada.yml --tags \'loaddata\' django_fixtures=\"t         


        

Answer 1

ansible-playbok -i -e "proc_name=sshd"

You can use the above command in below playbooks.

---
- name: Service Status
gather_facts: False
tasks:
- name: Check Service Status (Linux)
shell: pgrep "{{ proc_name }}"
register: service_status
ignore_errors: yes
debug: var=service_status.rc`
