John Gordon created PIG-2801:
--------------------------------
Summary: grunt "sh" command should invoke the shell implicitly
instead of calling exec directly with the command tokens
Key: PIG-2801
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-2801
Project: Pig
Issue Type: Sub-task
Reporter: John Gordon
The "sh" command in grunt is very sensitive to the behavior of exec. It
requires that you provide an executable filename as the first argument, and
those are sort of up for interpretation from platform to platform. For this to
easily handle batch scripts, built-in commands, and executables with one
semantic, it should spin up an intermediate command-shell. This would
translate "sh <command>" into "exec("sh" ["-c", <command>])". This helps to
smooth out some of the operating system differences between Windows and Linux,
and also improves usability of grunt as a whole.
