Re: [Fab-user] Running fabric on VMware ESXi

[Carlos García]

Hi Wawrzek,

I have included the env variables (stripped in your mail?). The PATH is  PATH=/bin:/sbin

Anyway, executing via fabric esx_run:"/bin/ls" throws a weirder message. 

[host] out: /bin/ls: line 1: syntax error: unexpected "("

[host] out:

Fatal error: run() received nonzero return code 2 while executing!

Requested: /bin/ls

Executed: /bin/sh "/bin/ls"

Aborting.

Fabric is executing /bin/sh /bin/ls, so it looks like it' trying to run ls as a shell script. So I changed my code and run is now called with shell = False

run( command, shell = False)

And now it's working!

Thanks anyway

Lack of PATH environment or rather '/bin'  in it.

Have you try to run /bin/ls instead of ls?
