[DEV] Add support for executing a command in a poky-initialized shell

[amine-smile]

Updated the shell command to support executing a command within the poky-initialized shell. Introduced the -c/--cmd option, which allows users to specify a command to be executed. When the -c option is provided, the specified command is executed within the shell environment.

Example: cooker shell <cooker-build> --cmd 'bitbake -c cve_check <package-name>'

Looks good, could you please add a test to the test-suite?

[pboettch]

Why do we need to the --cmd-switch? Wouldn't it be more unix-like having just the command afterwards:

cooker shell <build> bitbake -c cve_check <package-name>

Like for example with ssh?

I think that it would be interesting to be able to pass a list of commands, each command with its parameters in a single string. So it would be possible to execute the sequence of commands successively in the same shell (useful for example to cd before running a command)

This can be achieved by creating a script-file and run

cooker shell <build> $(realpath batch.sh)

if batch.sh is executable.

I'd prefer this rather than bloating cooker.

That or supporting shell based sequence (like ssh) : cooker shell <build> "cmd1; cmd2; cmd3 && cmd4" ?

Both would work without any change to cooker ;-), except (the adapted version of) this patch.

@amine-smile has (sadly) no time to work on this anymore... I'll take over and send a new PR with :

• nargs='*' (patch is ready)
• a test in the test-suite
