kubectl exec [POD] [COMMAND] is DEPRECATED and will be removed in a future version. Use kubectl exec [POD] -- [COMMAND] instead.
error: Internal error occurred: error executing command in container: failed to exec in container: failed to start exec "6169b8f1c91a68c5ebc99b8cb36b5be89871f6b6afdace67535a09bd3d4fc629": OCI runtime exec failed: exec failed: unable to start container process: exec: "-": executable file not found in $PATH: unknown

Correct the syntax and run again

root@master:/tmp# k exec nginx -it — /bin/bash
root@nginx:/#
root@nginx:/# ls -lrt
