incus exec
¶
Execute commands in instances
Synopsis¶
Description:
Execute commands in instances
The command is executed directly using exec, so there is no shell and
shell patterns (variables, file redirects, …) won’t be understood.
If you need a shell environment you need to execute the shell
executable, passing the shell commands as arguments, for example:
incus exec – sh -c “cd /tmp && pwd”
Mode defaults to non-interactive, interactive mode is selected if both stdin AND stdout are terminals (stderr is ignored).
incus exec [<remote>:]<instance> [flags] [--] <command line>
Examples¶
incus exec c1 bash
Run the "bash" command in instance "c1"
incus exec c1 -- ls -lh /
Run the "ls -lh /" command in instance "c1"
