I do not know if AskUbuntu is the correct place to ask or Stack Overflow.



To execute a statement in Windows use : C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe What is the equivalent in Ubuntu? I thought it was : /bin/bash but that does not work for me. I tried /bin/sh and /bin/dash ( like shown here )but without result.



In Virtualbox client I want to be able to execute a statement. For this I use pyvbox which is a Python shell for the virtualbox API.



After installing execute in statement in Virtualbox Windows client is possible with the statement :



process, stdout, stderr = gs.execute('C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe', ['/C', 'tasklist'])


See this link



I want to something like this for VBox Ubuntu client with the statement :



process, stdout, stderr = gs.execute('/bin/bash',['echo hello world'])


which returns no output.



In VBox Ubuntu client statement :



which bash


returns :



/bin/bash


And echo hello world is executed well.



Which alternatives there might be to execute a statement in Ubuntu? Sorry if this is not the correct place to ask.
