There is no documentation that I can find beyond the oneliner provided by the command-line utility. It says:
-batch force batch I/O
So what's going on here if I pass it a query or multiple queries?
When the sqlite3 shell is run interactively, it shows a startup message and the sqlite> prompt, and (on Windows) tries to converts the input to UTF-8.
If the automatic console detection does not work as intended, it can be overridden with -batch or -interactive.

I am trying to run sesu command in Unix server from Python with the help of Paramiko exec_command. However when I am running this command exec_command('sesu test'), I am getting
sh: sesu: not found
When I am running simple ls command it giving me desired output. Only with sesu command it is not working fine.
This is how my code looks like:
import paramiko
host = host
username = username
password = password
port = port
ssh=paramiko.SSHClient()
ssh.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())
ssh.connect(ip,port,username,password)
stdin,stdout,stderr=ssh.exec_command('sesu test')
stdin.write('Password')
stdin.flush()
outlines=stdout.readlines()
resp=''.join(outlines)
print(resp)
The SSHClient.exec_command by default does not run shell in "login" mode and does not allocate a pseudo terminal for the session. As a consequence a different set of startup scripts is (might be) sourced, than in your regular interactive SSH session (particularly for non-interactive sessions, .bash_profile is not sourced). And/or different branches in the scripts are taken, based on an absence/presence of TERM environment variable.
Possible solutions (in preference order):
Fix the command not to rely on a specific environment. Use a full path to sesu in the command. E.g.:
/bin/sesu test
If you do not know the full path, on common *nix systems, you can use which sesu command in your interactive SSH session.
Fix your startup scripts to set the PATH the same for both interactive and non-interactive sessions.
Try running the script explicitly via login shell (use --login switch with common *nix shells):
bash --login -c "sesu test"
If the command itself relies on a specific environment setup and you cannot fix the startup scripts, you can change the environment in the command itself. Syntax for that depends on the remote system and/or the shell. In common *nix systems, this works:
PATH="$PATH;/path/to/sesu" && sesu test
Another (not recommended) approach is to force the pseudo terminal allocation for the "exec" channel using the get_pty parameter:
stdin,stdout,stderr = ssh.exec_command('sesu test', get_pty=True)
Using the pseudo terminal to automate a command execution can bring you nasty side effects. See for example Is there a simple way to get rid of junk values that come when you SSH using Python's Paramiko library and fetch output from CLI of a remote machine?
You may have a similar problem with LD_LIBRARY_PATH and locating shared objects.

I'm using singularity to run python in an environnement deprived of python. I'm also running a mysql instance as explained by the IOWA state university (running an instance of mysql, and closing it when done).
For clarity, I'm using a bash script to open mysql, then do what i have to do (a python script) and close mysql, and it works fine. But Python's only way to stop if an error occured is sys.exit([value]) and this not only stops the python script, but also the bash script that ran it. This makes it impossible for me to manage the errors and close the instance of mysql if the python script exits.
My question is : Is there a way for me to execute a 'singularity instance stop mysql' while being in the python sandbox. Something to tell singularity "hey, this command here must be used on the host !" ?
I keep searching but can't find anything.
I only tried to execute it with subprocess like any other command, but it returned an error message because I don't have this instance inside the python sandbox. I don't even have singularity in this sandbox.
For any clarifications, just ask me, I'm trying to be clear but I'm pretty sure it's not very clear.
Thanks a lot !
Generally speaking, it would be a big security issue if a process could be initiated from inside a container (docker or singularity) but run in the host OS's namespace.
If the bash script is exiting on the python failure, it sounds like you're using set -e or #!/bin/bash -e. This causes the script to abort if any command returns non-zero. It's commonly recommended for safer processing, but can cause problems like this at times. To bypass that for the python step you can modify your script:
# start mysql, do some stuff
set +x # disable abort on non-zero return
python my_script.py
set -x # re-enable abort on non-zero
# shut down mysql, do other stuff
I'm having a confusing problem running a variety of programs from a tcl script. Here's the story: I have a script (in tcl) which executes plink to establish a remote connection on a Linux computer. I basically use eval for calling plink, sending as parameters some ssh commands and info, and also a bash file to be executed on the Linux computer.
So far, that works fine, or at least it does what I intend it to do. The issue here is that after calling this procedure, my prompt stops working the normal way. I can type, but it doesn't appear on screen unless the command I send is "echo" (without ""). If so, I get the "ECHO is on" message and the prompt continues to work normally.
Does anyone have any idea why this could be happening? I thought about just patch it and add the "echo" command inside my script, but it says that it's an invalid command in this case...
Well, thanks for the help!
Hi so I am trying to modify my .cshrc file to make bash my default. It is on a school account so I cannot change the main settings but can change the profile. The problem is that when I use the command:
bash
in my .cshrc it works when I am logging in just fine. But anytime I try to scp files it does not work because it launches the .cshrc and scp gets confused when it changes to the bash terminal.
Does anyone know how to get around this? Possibly launch bash in quiet mode...
In general, you shouldn't do anything that invokes an interactive application or produces visible output in your .cshrc. The problem is that .cshrc is sourced for non-interactive shells. And since your default shell is csh, you're going to have csh invoked non-interactively in a lot of cases -- as you've seen with scp.
Instead, I'd just invoke bash -- or, better, bash -l -- manually from the csh prompt. You can set up an alias like, say, alias b bash -l.
If you're going to invoke a new shell automatically on login (which is still not a good idea), put it in your .login, not your .cshrc.
This is assuming chsh doesn't work, but it should -- try it.
I am trying to run a GNU make file with multiple jobs.
When I try executing ' make.exe -r -j3', the receive the following to errors:
make.exe: Do not specify -j or --jobs if sh.exe is not available.
make.exe: Resetting make for single job mode.
Do I have to add ' $(SH) -c' somewhere in the makefile? If so, where?
The error message suggests that make cannot find sh.exe. The file names indicate you are probably on CygWin. I would investigate setting the PATH to include the location of sh.exe, or defining the value of SHELL to the name (or, even, full path) of your shell.
Are you running this on Windows (more specifically, in the "windows" shell?). If you are, you might want to read this:
http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html#Parallel
more specifically:
On MS-DOS, the ‘-j’ option has no effect, since that system doesn't support multi-processing.
Once again, assuming you're running on windows, you should get MinGW or CygWin
