Running multiple process on the same server

[Tzach Livyatan]

Hi Ansiblers

I need to run multiple instances (processes) of a shell command on each server.

Something like GNU parallel but directly from Ansible.

Any Ansible command / extension that will allow me to do so?

Thanks

Tzach

I could be incorrect but I believe that if you write a shell script that uses fork to instantiate itself the required number of times you could just call that script using the command module.
