.. _raw:

```

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 'shell' or 'command' module is much more appropriate.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Arguments given to 'raw' are run directly through the configured remote shell and
|
||
|
|
only output is returned. There is no error detection or change handler support
|
||
|
|
for this module.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Example from `/usr/bin/ansible` to bootstrap a legacy python 2.4 host::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ansible newhost.example.com -m raw -a "yum -y install python-simplejson"
