Exactly *one* of the following is required:
* `inline` (array of strings) - This is an array of commands to execute.
The commands are concatenated by newlines and turned into a single file,
so they are all executed within the same context. This allows you to
change directories in one command and use something in the directory in
the next and so on. Inline scripts are the easiest way to pull off simple
tasks within the machine.

and so on. Inline scripts are the easiest way to pull off simple tasks
within the machine.
* `script` (string) - The path to a script to upload and execute in the machine.
This path can be absolute or relative. If it is relative, it is relative
to the working directory when Packer is executed.
- `script` (string) - The path to a script to upload and execute in
the machine. This path can be absolute or relative. If it is relative, it is
relative to the working directory when Packer is executed.
* `scripts` (array of strings) - An array of scripts to execute. The scripts
will be uploaded and executed in the order specified. Each script is executed
in isolation, so state such as variables from one script won't carry on to
the next.
- `scripts` (array of strings) - An array of scripts to execute. The scripts
will be uploaded and executed in the order specified. Each script is
executed in isolation, so state such as variables from one script won't
carry on to the next.
Optional parameters:
* `binary` (boolean) - If true, specifies that the script(s) are binary
files, and Packer should therefore not convert Windows line endings to
Unix line endings (if there are any). By default this is false.
* `environment_vars` (array of strings) - An array of key/value pairs
to inject prior to the execute_command. The format should be
`key=value`. Packer injects some environmental variables by default
into the environment, as well, which are covered in the section below.
* `execute_command` (string) - The command to use to execute the script.
By default this is `{{ .Vars }}"{{ .Path }}"`. The value of this is
treated as [configuration template](/docs/templates/configuration-templates.html).
There are two available variables: `Path`, which is
the path to the script to run, and `Vars`, which is the list of
`environment_vars`, if configured.
* `remote_path` (string) - The path where the script will be uploaded to
in the machine. This defaults to "/tmp/script.sh". This value must be
a writable location and any parent directories must already exist.
* `start_retry_timeout` (string) - The amount of time to attempt to
_start_ the remote process. By default this is "5m" or 5 minutes. This
setting exists in order to deal with times when SSH may restart, such as
a system reboot. Set this to a higher value if reboots take a longer
amount of time.
- `binary` (boolean) - If true, specifies that the script(s) are binary files,

endings (if there are any). By default this is false.
