Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: pdsh
Description: Ubuntu 9.10
Release: 9.10
pdsh:
Installed: 2.18-1
Candidate: 2.18-1
Version table:
*** 2.18-1 0
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/universe Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
A command like
$ pdsh -w myhost echo "1 2 3 |" "hostname"
should output something like
myhost: 1 2 3 | hostname
In fact I get
myhost: myhost
That is, 'hostname' is actually being invoked somehow. I'm not sure
exactly what's going wrong, but basically it looks like pdsh is parsing
and munging command arguments very strangely. Under some circumstances,
this might end up doing something really horrible.
In general, I would have expected the output of "pdsh <pdsh-args>
<command> <arg>..." to be about the same as "ssh <host> <command>
<arg>...".
(A workaround of sorts is to place two layers of quotes around the
command and its arguments.)
