- Executes a low-down and dirty SSH command, not going through the module
|
|
|
|
|
subsystem. This is useful and should only be done in two cases. The
|
|
|
|
|
first case is installing python-simplejson on older (Python 2.4 and
|
|
|
|
|
before) hosts that need it as a dependency to run modules, since nearly
|
|
|
|
|
all core modules require it. Another is speaking to any devices such as
|
|
|
|
|
routers that do not have any Python installed. In any other case, using
|
|
|
|
|
the M(shell) or M(command) module is much more appropriate. Arguments
|
|
|
|
|
given to M(raw) are run directly through the configured remote shell and
|
|
|
|
|
only output is returned. There is no error detection or change handler
