support command lists
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
This updates the exec{} block's `command` setting to support command lists.
That is a command formatted like `["echo", "hello", "world"]`.
It is backwards compatible with the old format, turning single commands
w/o spaces into lists.
Single commands with spaces still use the `sh -c` setup.

This will allow for multi-word commands on Windows and in setups (like
bare docker containers) without `sh` installed.

The command configured for running on template rendering must take one of two
forms.

The first is as a single command without spaces in its name and no arguments.
This form of command will be called directly by consul-template and is good for
any situation. The command can be a shell script or an executable, anything
called via a single word, and must be either on the runtime search PATH or the
absolute path to the executable. The single word limination is necessary to
eliminate any need for parsing the command line. For example..

`command = "/opt/foo"` or, if on PATH, `command = "foo"`

The second form is as a multi-word command, a command with arguments or a more
complex shell command. This form **requires** a shell named `sh` be on the
executable search path (eg. PATH on *nix). This is the standard on all *nix
systems and should work out of the box on those systems. This won't work on,
for example, Docker images with only the executable and not a minimal system
like Alpine. Using this form you can join multiple commands with logical
operators, `&&` and `||`, use pipelines with `|`, conditionals, etc. Note that
the shell `sh` is normally `/bin/sh` on *nix systems and is either a POSIX
shell or a shell run in POSIX compatible mode, so it is best to stick to POSIX
shell syntax in this command. For example..
The first is as a list of the command and arguments split at spaces. The
command can use an absolute path or be found on the execution environment's
PATH and must be the first item in the list. This form allows for single or
multi-word commands that can be executed directly with a system call. For
example...
`command = ["echo", "hello"]`
`command = ["/opt/foo-package/bin/run-foo"]`
`command = ["foo"]`
Note that if you give a single command without the list denoting square
brackets (`[]`) it is converted into a list with a single argument.
This:
`command = "foo"`
is equivalent to:
`command = ["foo"]`
The second form is as a single quoted command using system shell features. This
form **requires** a shell named `sh` be on the executable search path (eg. PATH
on *nix). This is the standard on all *nix systems and should work out of the
box on those systems. This won't work on, for example, Docker images with only
the executable and without a minimal system like Alpine. Using this form you
can join multiple commands with logical operators, `&&` and `||`, use pipelines
with `|`, conditionals, etc. Note that the shell `sh` is normally `/bin/sh` on
\*nix systems and is either a POSIX shell or a shell run in POSIX compatible
mode, so it is best to stick to POSIX shell syntax in this command. For
example..

`command = "/opt/foo && /opt/bar"`
