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.
|
|
- This module does not require python on the remote system, much like
|
|
the M(script) module.
|
|
notes:
|
|
- If you want to execute a command securely and predictably, it may be
|
|
better to use the M(command) module instead. Best practices when writing
|
|
playbooks will follow the trend of using M(command) unless M(shell) is
|
|
explicitly required. When running ad-hoc commands, use your best
|
|
judgement.
