description:
- 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 C(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.
Standard output, error output and return code are returned when
available. There is no change handler support for this module.
