I'm just getting started with rundeck and trying to find out how it works.
I created a simple Job that should install some packages on the remote note from a pre-selected list (Option).
When I select more than one option the command fails. I want to find out why it fails but (even with debug-mode enabled) see nowhere which command is actally being executed on the remote node.
My command looks like yum install -y "${option.package}" and the unexpected response is eg: no package [selected options] available ... I have selected (space) as delimitter.
How can I see what is executed on the remote host?
Update:
I meanwhile found out why my options did not work as expected; I had to use the unqouted variant for the command-line. But the main question still stays the same ...
Right now the only way to see the exact executed command is to run the job on debug mode. Just select "Run with Debug output" and you can see the command dispatched in the middle of the execution output.

NOTE
I've had to remove like two chunks of this post because stack overflow kept interpreting it as code when it isn't and it wouldn't let me post, I'll just make a screenshot of what the post is supposed to look like and post it here. Read this instead.
Summary
I was finally trying to learn how to use VSCode tasks and so I copied the first task example from here and created a shell script at scripts/test.sh which contains simply "echo foo". I also commented out the windows alternative script because I exclusively use WSL/Bash. Whenever I run the task I receive a "The terminal process terminated with exit code: 1" error message, which is no help whatsoever.
Testing
I ran various tests and I have no idea why this isn't working.
Proving The Task Is In The Correct Directory & In WSL
First I thought maybe the task isn't running in WSL or that the directories are out of sync, so I changed the commands to see what happens.
First, I changed it to:
"command": "pwd",
and the output was "/mnt/f/.../.../tmp/tmp.1BitOIA78E" (... are for some arbitrary path) so clearly I concluded I was running on WSL and in the right path.
Proving the Script is Executeable
Next I thought, maybe the script I'm trying to run isn't executable or something to that affect, so I changed the command to:
"command": "stat ./scripts/test.sh",
and I got the following output which shows, the file exists, it's executeable & can be accessed through "./scripts/test.sh" from whatever directory the Task is set to on construction
I run the task by typing ctrl-shift-P to open the menu, select "run tasks" and then select 'My First Task'.
Note: I don't think this is a settings problem. There're no workspace settings setup (because this is just me testing) & just in case, you can find my current user settings here which I updated immediately before posting this.
Expectations
What I'd like is either:
Someone to tell me how I can access the stderr and stdout log of the shell upon startup so I can get some actually helpful information as to why this is happening.
Someone to tell me why I can run a script perfectly fine outside of a task, but within a task it completely fails.
Whats also of note is that the script isn't the problem here. Leaving it completely blank, doesn't stop the terminal from straight up crashing.
I have multiple http requests under a Thread group, that was always passing till yesterday when executed from either GUI and Command line mode on my Mac system.
Now, when executing from NON GUI mode(Command line), one URL (launching the home page) always fails when executing on Slave systems from the Master system
But works when executed on the Master system itself.
I was trying some changes in jmeter.properties. Not sure, if it is anything to do with the error I face now.
My Command line instruction is as below
sh Jmeter.sh -n -t R3Performance_Fragment.jmx -G ucount=5 -l Results/r1.csv -R 192.168.X.XX,192.168.X.XX
Not sure if I am missing something here, please let me know.
My pyenv is working just fine, but it does not seem to be running my activate script located at /usr/local/var/pyenv/versions/project/bin/activate.fish
When activating my environment it gives the following output, but it does not echo anything from the activate script, which indicates that it is not running.
dani#localhost ~/d/project> pyenv activate project
pyenv-virtualenv: prompt changing not working for fish.
Of course I can just source the file manually, but I'm too eager to find out why it is not running. Is there some kind of debug mode? I'm not sure how to approach.
Actually,
Virtual environment is activated but the message just says that your prompt wasn't changed. Updating prompt was intentionally removed from fish shell.
you can find detailed information here;
https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv-virtualenv/issues/153
If you want to see virtual environment is really activated or not,
run the following command;
pyenv which python
it should print something like;
.pyenv/versions/{your-virtual-env}/bin/python
try this:
set PYENV_ROOT $HOME/.pyenv
set -x PATH $PYENV_ROOT/shims $PYENV_ROOT/bin $PATH
pyenv rehash
I am able to run a .exe from the command line, but when I try and run it using the Task Scheduler, I get the error "The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003)"
I am running this on a server, so I have tried mapping the drive and also using the full path. Both of these methods work using the command line.
This is how I have the Program/script set to run:
D:\scripts\lilt\NewFile.exe \err00\root\LILT\ILL\ \pcc02\Inter\I040\ILL\Inbox\"
What do I need to do, to get this to run on the scheduler? Thanks!
I figured it out. I had to use the "Add arguments (optional)" section to indicate the drives and not put it in the Action line. (As some history, I'm moving this task from a PC to a server, and the PC had it all in the one line, as well, when running from cmd on the server, I could execute it successfully on one line, but it behaves differently once you make it a task apparently.
So this went in "Action":
D:\scripts\lilt\NewFile.exe
And this went in Add arguments (optional):
\err00\root\LILT\ILL \pcc02\Inter\I040\ILL\Inbox
I have script lets say:
C:\foo.bsh
I want to be able to run this command via the windows run command:
Start -> Run
Windows Key + R
and type something small like 'foo' and hitting return.
However, I do not want a cmd prompt to be visible. This script does some preprocessing for an IDE. I do not want the cmd prompt to be open for the lifetime of the IDE process.
I have tried:
1) Creating a bat file with the following contents:
c:\cygwin\bin\bash --login "C:\foo.bsh" (this fails because it keeps a cmd open)
2) Converting the above bat file to an exe using bat_2_exe_converter (does not make the cmd silent)
thoughts?
EDIT: The solution so far suggests something to type from an actual cygwin shell. I am trying to get a faster solution by having something short I can type in the Windows run command. Also, the nohup command; exit doesn't automatically kill the box - however I can manually kill it without killing the IDE process. The run command accepts shortcuts (.lnk's), bat's, exe's.
Try the run.exe command of cygwin. It is a big install, a complete unix environment for your Windows machine. Suppose you installed it at c:\cygwin\.
No mystery, just run c:\cygwin\bin\run.exe <your command here> and you will have your no dos window execution.
You can run it from any DOS window (run cmd.exe from the start menu). You don't need to run it from cygwin.
To make it easier, append C:\cygwin\bin to your %PATH% env var (My Computer → Properties → Advanced → Environment Variables) (Kudos to Felipe Alvarez comment).
Now you can just type
c:\cygwin\bin\run.exe "C:\foo.bsh"
You must create a link in your Start Menu with this command so will be able to run it with Win-R.
Here is the man page of the runcommand:
$ man run
RUN(1) run 1.3.0 RUN(1)
NAME
run - start programs with hidden console window
SYNOPSIS
run [ -p path ] command [ -wait ] arguments
runcommand [ -p path ] [ -wait ] arguments
DESCRIPTION
Windows programs are either GUI programs or console programs. When
started console programs will either attach to an existing console
or create a new one. GUI programs can never attach to an exiting con‐
sole. There is no way to attach to an existing console but hide it if
started as GUI program.
run will do this for you. It works as intermediate and starts a pro‐
gram but makes the console window hidden.
With -p path you can add path to the PATH environment variable.
Issuing -wait as first program argument will make run wait for program
completition, otherwise it returns immediately.
The second variant is for creating wrappers. If the executable is
named runcommand (eg runemacs), run will try to start the program (eg
emacs).
EXAMPLES
run -p /usr/X11R6/bin xterm
run emacs -wait
runemacs -wait
run make -wait

You can use either...
c:\cygwin\bin\bash -l /path/to/script_to_interpret.sh
...or...
c:\cygwin\bin\bash -l -c /path/to/executable_script.sh
Note: the -l flag tell bash to "act as if it had been directly invoked by login" and use Bash Startup Files. This is important in that it sets your $PATH and other things you rely on when you launch a cygwin terminal. If you don't include -l or --login you will get "command not found" when you try to call anything except of a bash builtin.
The difference between the 2 is like the difference between doing...
bash script_to_interpret.sh
...and...
./executable_script.sh
...in *nix. The former interprets the script using bash. The latter executes the script (only if it has chmod +x executable_script.sh) and interprets it according to its "shebang" line. The latter method is also what you want to do if your executable is not a script at all, like a *nix binary compiled from source.)
It has been bugging me for a while I couldn't find the solution for this, but I finally got the right mix together.
You can simply do the following if you have cygwin on your PATH:
run bash test.js
If cygwin is not on your path, you can do this:
c:\cygwin\bin\run.exe -p /bin bash test.js
If you are looking for more control over the created window (maximize, etc) it looks like you can use cygstart also.

As the terminal can't close while your script is still running, try the command:
"nohup C:\foo.bsh; exit"
This way your script will be backgrounded and detached from the terminal, and it should exit quickly so the terminal goes away. I think that the window may still 'flash' with this approach, but the results should be better than what you're getting.
I'm running Cygwin64 and the xwin server link points to:
C:\cygwin64\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c /usr/bin/startxwin.exe
This creates an icon AND a notification on the taskbar. I don't like that. The icon is rather useless, the notification has all your menu options from .XWinrc.
So... I wrote a .vbs script to silently run this command and make the icon go away:
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objShell.Run("C:\cygwin64\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c /usr/bin/startxwin.exe"), 0
Another imperfect possibility is to run the script via a shortcut and set the shortcut's Run option to "minimized".
Go to the directory where you have installed cygwin(on my machine it is c:/cygwin64/bin)
Once there simply type "bash.exe"
