Hi,

Trying to run a specific command (ibstat)  installed in /usr/sbin on an
Ubuntu 15.04 machine, using subprocess.check_output and getting "/bin/sh:
/usr/sbin/ibstat: No such file or directory"

I tried the following:
- running the command providing full path
- running with executable=bash
- running with (['/bin/bash', '-c' , "/usr/sbin/ibstat"])

Nothing worked ...

Any idea?
