[jira] [Created] (MESOS-6838) Reconsider the semantics of `subprocess` on Windows

Alex Clemmer created MESOS-6838:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: Reconsider the semantics of `subprocess` on Windows
                 Key: MESOS-6838
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-6838
             Project: Mesos
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: libprocess
            Reporter: Alex Clemmer
            Assignee: Alex Clemmer


Right now, throughout the codebase, we are passing Windows shell commands into `subprocess`'s `argv` parameter, and ignoreing the `path` parameter. For example, we might do something like:

{code}
subprocess("", "cmd /c mesos-containerizer.exe", ...)
{code}

The `cmd /c` here is required. This obviously does not have high cohesion with the Unix usage of this, so we should consider ways to clean this up.
