Execute remote shell script in file

[acsadam0404]

I have tried to execute a shell script file. I have all permissions on it and its a simple bash script. None of the above seems to work:

exec '/myfile.sh'
exec 'bash /myfile.sh'
exec 'sh /myfile.sh'

@acsadam0404 can you show the exception/error that you are getting?

[acsadam0404]

I didn't got any exceptions, it just didn't execute. The script was creating a temp file with touch into /tmp so I would see if it was executed. The main usage would be to execute tomcat's shutdown.sh and startup.sh scripts.

• Can you share the script or provide a minimalistic script to reproduce the behavior?
• Were the permissions missing from the script?
• What was the target system you were testing against?

I have the same issue. I'm executing my script over a Debian server. I'm trying to execute the following command:
exec '/opt/tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh'
I previously executed exec "echo my-root-password | su -" and I know it was successful because of the output message. If I just execute the command to execute the sh file I get a Permission Denied exception. If execute it inside a prefix("sudo") nothing happens. It just gets stuck.

Thank you for any help.
