trying to install pip inside a virtual env under a non root user called jenkins
when I ssh into the server and do this:
sudo su jenkins
cd into relevant directory
(autoenv kicks in and activates the virtual env)
pip install -r requirements.txt
meaning it works.
But the startup scripts runs as root...
I've tried
su - jenkins -c "echo $(whoami) ;"
output : root
tried:
sudo su jenkins & "echo $(whoami) ;
tried:
sh my_bash.sh
and my_bash.sh
sudo su jenkins
echo $(whoami)
Replace
su - jenkins -c "echo $(whoami)"
by
su - jenkins -c 'echo $(whoami)'
to stop your shell executing $(whoami) as user root before running su - jenkins echo root.
