Re: [Fab-user] run commands in sub-shell?

[Mohamed Lrhazi]

>From looking at the code, in operations.py,it does not seem to be
passing the command to a shell with -c argument, like in the example I
gave from sudo man page.

So the command would run as:

sudo command

and not

sudo sh -c command

so if my command has shell redirection or pipes, those would not apply
to my command, but to the bash used to run sudo.. am I right?
