newbie nagios client deployment problem

[Thomas Steele]

I'm trying to get a playbook that will download, untar, configure and make nagios client on a rhel7 server. So far the download and untar are working perfectly, but the configure and make commands are not running properly. Going to the server itself and running ./configure and make works perfectly. Any help is greatly appreciated.

playbook:
---
- name: new nagios client install
  hosts: ewok
  remote_user: fscan
  become: yes
  become_method: sudo
  become_user: root
  roles:
    - nagios

role:
---
- name: create Nagios user
  user: name=nagios shell=/bin/bash comment="nagios user"

- name: install gcc
  yum: state=present name=gcc

- name: install xinetd
  yum: state=present name=xinetd

- name: install openssl-devel
  yum: state=present name=openssl-devel

- name: create install directory
  file: path=/tmp/download/ state=directory

- name: transfer and untar nagios-plugins
  unarchive: src=files/nagios-plugins-2.0.3.tar.gz dest=/tmp/download mode=0755

- name: ownership managment
  file: path=/tmp/download/ state=directory recurse=yes owner=fscan group=fscan

- name: configure nagios
  command: /tmp/download/nagios-plugins-2.0.3/configure

- name: make files
  command: /tmp/download/nagios-plugins-2.0.3 make;make install

- name: change permissions
  file: path=/usr/local/nagios recurse=yes owner=nagios group=nagios

Use chdir

- name: configure nagios
command: ./configure
args:
chdir: /tmp/download/nagios-plugins-2.0.3

The semicolon is a shell operation, command doesn't support that. You
will have to use shell, split it in two or use with_items.

And maybe something like this will work:
- name: configure, make and make install nagios
command: "{{ item }}"
args:
chdir: /tmp/download/nagios-plugins-2.0.3
with_items:
- ./configure
- make
- make install
