golang exec.Command execute bash exit status 1

cmd := exec.Command("bash", "-c", "rm -rf *")
cmd.Dir = "/root/media/"
err := cmd.Run()
if err != nil {
    fmt.Println(err)
    fmt.Fprintf(w, "'rm -rf *' command failed.")
}

"err": exit with status 1 I think I am not writing exec.Command correctly, but I cannot fix this.

Solution

  • The command that is going to be executed in bash should be enclosed with double quote (or single quote), e.g.

    cmd := exec.Command("bash", "-c", `"rm -rf *"`)
