kubectl exec -it, failing to take extended commands.

[Joshua Sindy]

Here is an example of the command that is not working for me.

kubectl exec -it $pod "php -f /var/www/bin/run.php" --namespace test

If shell into the container the commands works just fine.

Thanks!

I just spent a little time confused by this today. Could you try:

kubectl exec -it --namespace test $pod -- php -f /var/www/bin/run.php

I think the `--namespace test` portion needs to come before the pod name, and the rest should not be quoted as a single arg, but left as multiple args

That did the trick Dan, thank you!

It's common for programs to use "--" to separate arguments of the program itself
(like kubectl in this case).

"--" is useful besides kubectl, take it into account :)
