Command: Exec

Using the Exec Command

To execute a command on a container without first getting a bash session use the exec command. The command and its arguments need to follow --.

cp-remote exec -- ls -la

This will run the command on the default container specified during setup but you can specify another container to run the command on. For example, if the service you want to connect to is web:

cp-remote exec -s web -- ls -la

---

Interactive Mode

Interactive mode allows you to connect directly to an environment that is not set up as a remote environment.

Running the exec command in interactive mode looks like this:

cp-remote exec --interactive --kube-environment-name php-example-cpdev-foo --service web --flow-id 1268cc54-0c360641bb54 -- /bin/sh
cp-remote exec -i -e php-example-cpdev-foo -s web -f 1268cc54-0c360641bb54 -- /bin/sh

cp-remote exec --interactive -- /bin/sh
cp-remote exec -i -- /bin/sh

---
