cmdshell run cd

[Bogdan Dumitrica]

Hi,

I just noticed that running the following code (assuming that there is an instance running and that instance_cmd is a cli handler to the instance)

instance_cmd.run("cd my_dir")

instance_cmd.run("pwd")

will return the home dir of the user I logged in with as cwd and not the dir I  just changed to...

Is there a way to make the cd command effects persistent over multiple run calls? 

Thanks,

Hi -

The "run" command is simply executing the specified command on the remote instance.  It is possible to execute multiple commands on one command line by concatenating them with "&&", as it:

instance_cmd.run("cd my_dir && pwd")

I'm not sure if that accomplishes what you want or not.

Hi,

It does. That's the solution I'm using, but I was wondering if there's another way to do it.

Thanks,

Bogdan

put all your commands in a script ? your env is being reset (new shell) for each _cmd.run .

try something similar to the following (caveat: untested but should work assuming $SHELL is something like /bin/bash) ...

script = """$SHELL <<EOF

cd $HOME

pwd

ls -l

export MYFILE=/tmp/myfile

echo "barf" > $MYFILE

cat $MYFILE

rm $MYFILE

touch /tmp/afiletomakesurethisworked

EOF"""

instance_cmd.run(script)
