Plugins » Foreman Remote Execution

Cloned from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1445807

Description of problem:

Executing remote commands against hosts using cshell (csh) yields the following results:

- The command executes fine
  - However, the exit code is 1
  - "Illegal variable name" is output regardless of variable definitions 
  - Job status reverts to failed

This makes determining which jobs have failed on which hosts nearly impossible in an environment running primarily csh.

How reproducible:

Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set target host shell to csh
2. Run a simple command (i.e. ls) via REx against that host

Actual results:

The output indicates that the 'ls' command actually succeeded, however the job will always return as failed and the output shown will always complain about an 'Illegal variable name'

Expected results:

These results are "expected" given that REx templates appear to be written for bash, however it would be helpful in some environments if there were a set of script template equivalents with command syntax which could be used for different shells.

Below is the output received when sending a simple package installation task to a host:
