It's not possible to use %sh to run commands on the executor. The below code can be used to run commands on the executor and get the output

var res=sc.runOnEachExecutor[String]({ () =>
import sys.process._
  
       var cmd_Result=Seq("bash", "-c", "hostname").!!
      cmd_Result
    }, 100.seconds)
