[Fab-user] noprofile

[Brett Haydon]

Hi,

I ran into an issue with using a combination of virtualenvwrapper with fabric 
sudo command. Logging in virtualenvwrapper can end up creating hook.log that is 
only accessible by root, and cause errors trying to source the 
virtualenvwrapper.sh as the normal env.user.

I've ended up using env.shell = '/bin/bash --noprofile -l -c' to workaround the 
issue but it occurs to me that --noprofile is actually a pretty good option to 
use by default. Scanning the .bashrc and .profile in Ubuntu, I can't actually 
see the advantage of using them with fabric run or sudo anyway, since they 
appear to make things nice for humans using the shell.

Wouldn't it be more efficient to use the --noprofile option by default or 
perhaps  have it as an env, sudo, run option?
BTW I did try using env.shell=False but quite a few of my functions failed so 
gave that idea away.

cheers,

Brett
