CirrostratusMike your whitespace looks off. I pasted your playbook as printed above to yamllint.com and got errors. Try this.

NimbostratusAgreed, there is very little documentation about running an actual bash command.
However, after some further testing, I was able to get my command working, but without "awk '{print $2}", its not optimal but in any event I was able to get it to run. The odd part is a single "ls", no flags, command throws an error.
I have no rhyme or reason as to why some work and some dont, I assume I'm/we are missing some fundamental piece to run bash commands.
Below is what is working for me right now, spacing is OK, it runs the play just not with the full command I want.

- "netstat -rn | grep \"^0.0.0.0\" | grep -v \"eth0\\|mgmt\""
