I have a bash script that sets up a classpath for accessing a series of JARs (it's tf, the cross-platform, command line tool for Team Foundation Server). The file structure is something like:
/usr/bin/tee-clc/tf
/usr/bin/tee-clc/lib/*.jars
A Django server running via Apache starts a new tf process, executing the bash script; however, it can't access the jar files in the /usr/bin/tee-clc/lib folder. It seems likely that there's some sort of "sandboxing" or something similar to here but searching didn't get me very far. I would imagine the reason I can access the bash file is because it's in the path and executable but the JARs are somehow different?
Hopefully not too nebulous of a question: Why can't I access files (even 777'd) from a Bash script executing as the Apache user.
Update
I'm beginning to think it has a great deal to do with Python's subprocess.popen emulating a shell rather than actually using a shell. I don't think specifying the Shell=True parameter is the "fix" but I'm not sure how to get the Bash script to work without an actual shell...
