---
module: raw
short_description: Executes a low-down and dirty command
version_added: historical
options:
free_form:
description:
- The raw module takes a free form command to run.
- There is no parameter actually named 'free form'; see the examples!
required: true
executable:
description:
- Change the shell used to execute the command. Should be an absolute path to the executable.
- When using privilege escalation (C(become)) a default shell will be assigned if one is not provided
as privilege escalation requires a shell.
version_added: "1.0"
description:
- Executes a low-down and dirty SSH command, not going through the module
subsystem.
- This is useful and should only be done in a few cases. A common
case is installing C(python) on a system without python installed by default.
Another is speaking to any devices such as
routers that do not have any Python installed. In any other case, using
the M(ansible.builtin.shell) or M(ansible.builtin.command) module is much more appropriate.
- Arguments given to C(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(ansible.builtin.script) module.
- This module is also supported for Windows targets.
- If the command returns non UTF-8 data, it must be encoded to avoid issues. One option is to pipe
the output through C(base64).
extends_documentation_fragment:
- action_common_attributes
- action_common_attributes.raw
attributes:
check_mode:
support: none
diff_mode:
support: none
platform:
details: This action is one of the few that requires no Python on the remote as it passes the command directly into the connection string
platforms: all
raw:
support: full
notes:
- "If using raw from a playbook, you may need to disable fact gathering
using C(gather_facts: no) if you're using C(raw) to bootstrap python
onto the machine."
- If you want to execute a command securely and predictably, it may be
better to use the M(ansible.builtin.command) or M(ansible.builtin.shell) modules instead.
- The C(environment) keyword does not work with raw normally, it requires a shell
which means it only works if C(executable) is set or using the module
with privilege escalation (C(become)).
