passing args to shell module in Ansible adhoc command Is it possible to pass args, to the shell module when running it as an adhoc command?

I can pass the free_form parameter using -a, but I am trying to figure out how to specify additional arguments, such as chdir or executable.

For example, what is the adhoc equivalent to this task?

- name: Change working dir to somedir/ and run somescript.sh using bash
  shell: somescript.sh &gt;&gt; somelog.txt
  args:
    chdir: somedir/
    executable: /bin/bash
Append the parameters after the command. See the example below.

# ansible -m shell --args "pwd; touch test; ls -1 chdir=/scratch/tmp creates=/scratch/tmp/test" localhost
localhost | CHANGED | rc=0 &gt;&gt;
/scratch/tmp
test

# ansible -m shell --args "pwd; touch test; ls -1 chdir=/scratch/tmp creates=/scratch/tmp/test" localhost
localhost | SUCCESS | rc=0 &gt;&gt;
skipped, since /scratch/tmp/test exists
