Scripting

I have the a CIF that outputs the list of local linux accounts using this command:

getent passwd {500..10000} | awk -F: '{ print $1}'

From a shell on both CentOS and Ubuntu it outputs the correct info. However when from a custom Inventory rule it only works on CentOS (5.x and up) but not on any Ubuntu system (12 and up)

I'm using this: ShellCommandTextReturn(getent passwd {500..10000} | awk -F: '{ print $1}')

I have also tried with this version: ShellCommandTextReturn(getent passwd {500..10000} | cut -d: -f1)

This is what I see in the Ubuntu KAgent.log file:

[2019-06-14.19:20:16][KDeploy:ExecuteCustomInventoryRu] rule ID [22158] : issuing rule [ShellCommandTextReturn(getent passwd {500..10000} | awk -F: '{ print $1}');]

[2019-06-14.19:20:16][KDeploy:ExecuteCustomInventoryRu] rule [22158] statement result: "", FALSE

[2019-06-14.19:20:16][KDeploy:RunCustomInventory      ] KDeploy    finished processing 3 custominventory rules, sending response

I have other custom inventory items that work fine on both CentOS and Ubuntu.

Any ideas?
