# Raw Fork/Exec Driver
Name: `raw_exec`
The `raw_exec` driver is used to execute a command for a task without any
isolation. Further, the task is started as the same user as the Nomad process.
As such, it should be used with extreme care and is disabled by default.

## Task Configuration
The `raw_exec` driver supports the following configuration in the job spec:
* `command` - The command to execute. Must be provided.
* `args` - The argument list to the command, space seperated. Optional.
## Client Requirements
The `raw_exec` driver can run on all supported operating systems. It is however
disabled by default. In order to be enabled, the Nomad client configuration must
explicitly enable the `raw_exec` driver in the
[options](../agent/config.html#options) field:
```
options = {
driver.raw_exec.enable = "1"
}
```
## Client Attributes
The `raw_exec` driver will set the following client attributes:
* `driver.raw_exec` - This will be set to "1", indicating the
driver is available.
## Resource Isolation
The `raw_exec` driver provides no isolation.
