# here's a cool advanced topic about how to perform conditional logic in ansible without resorting
|
||
|
# to writing your own module that defines facts. You can do that too, and it's easy to do, but
|
||
|
# often you just want to run a command and then decide whether to run some steps or not. That's
|
||
|
# easy to do, and here we'll show you how.

|

|

# it is possible to save the result of any command in a named register. This variable will be made

# available to tasks and templates made further down in the execution flow.

|

|
# it is a return from the command module. The shell module makes available variables such as
|

|
# as 'stdout', 'stderr', and 'rc'.
