iControlREST (11.5) - execute bash command

Question

I've been playing with iControlREST recently, and trying to port some old iControl scripts over. Most of them work nicely, but I've got one that requires running a bash command (for example purposes, let's say in the tmsh shell, the command would be run /util bash -c 'echo "works"'. 
Is it possible to run a bash command through iControlREST?

Try this:
curl -vsk -u 'admin:admin' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST https://192.168.1.252/mgmt/tm/util/bash -d "{\"command\":\"run\",\"utilCmdArgs\":\"-c 'echo "works"'\"}"

You're somewhat limited with what you can do with Bash, for example you couldn't directly execute a binary file like 'ls', but then you could script it and then call the script:
