URIEXEC(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation URIEXEC(1)NAMEuriexec - Decode and execute the given URI-encoded command
SYNOPSISuriexec [--cd I<cd>] echo %24HOME
DESCRIPTION
Run the specified command (optionally from the specified directory).
Each URL-encoded character (%xx) is translated prior to executing the
command with exec().
Uriexec solves the classic problem of having to figure out how to quote
shell metacharacters to pass commands across multiple shells and ssh
processes. Simply call "uriexec" on a string created with
"URI::Escape::uri_escape", and it will end up executing on the final
machine with proper quoting.
ARGUMENTS--cd dir
Directory to cd to before the exec of the given command, URI-
encoded.
--shell shell
Name of the shell and additional parameters to prefix, URI-encoded.
Defaults to "/bin/sh -c".
--show
Instead of executing the command, print the decoding of the command
to aid in user debug. This also supports decoding nested uriexec
calls, however they are not always perfect so the output from this
option is only for users, not scripts.
--version
Displays program version and exits.
