```python
import subprocess
import csv
import glob
import random
import os
def task_func(file):
"""
Divide a CSV file into several smaller files and shuffle the lines in each file.
This function takes a CSV file path as input, divides it into smaller files using
the shell 'split' command, and shuffles the rows in each of the resulting files.
The output files are named with a 'split_' prefix.
Parameters:
- file (str): The path to the CSV file.
Returns:
- list: The paths to the split files. Returns an empty list if the file does not exist, is not a CSV file, or if an error occurs during processing.
Requirements:
- subprocess
- csv
- glob
- random
- os
Example:
>>> task_func('/path/to/file.csv')
['/path/to/split_00', '/path/to/split_01', ...]
"""
# Check if file exists
if not os.path.exists(file):
return []
# Check if file is a CSV file
if not file.endswith('.csv'):
return []
try:
# Use split command to divide the file into smaller files
# The split command creates files with prefix 'split_' and suffixes like '00', '01', etc.
subprocess.run(['split', '--lines=1000', file, 'split_'], check=True, capture_output=True)
# Get all the split files
split_files = glob.glob('split_*')
# Sort the files to ensure consistent order
split_files.sort()
# Shuffle lines in each split file
for split_file in split_files:
with open(split_file, 'r', newline='') as f:
reader = csv.reader(f)
lines = list(reader)
# Shuffle the lines
random.shuffle(lines)
# Write back the shuffled lines
with open(split_file, 'w', newline='') as f:
writer = csv.writer(f)
writer.writerows(lines)
return split_files
except subprocess.CalledProcessError:
# If split command fails, return empty list
return []
except Exception:
# If any other error occurs, return empty list
return []
