chmod 0777 adhoc.sh
vim adhoc.sh
#I/bin/bash

Wait, did someone say 'chmod 0777'? That's a bit overkill, don't you think? Let's keep the permissions a bit more secure, shall we?

User1: You're right, 0777 is too permissive. Let's use more secure permissions like 0755.

This is a great question! I'm surprised they didn't ask us to use the 'yum_repository' module instead of the 'ansible' command directly.

Haha, the script is almost perfect, but I think we need to add a 'reponame=EPEL' parameter to match the name specified in the question.

Adding 'reponame=EPEL' will ensure the repo name matches the specified name. I'll update the script.

The script looks good, but I would suggest adding a 'become: yes' parameter to the ansible command to ensure the task is executed with elevated privileges.

This seems like a straightforward task. The provided script looks good, though I might add a 'state=present' parameter to ensure the repository is enabled.
