# BigCodeBench/18

Implement a file **`solution.py`** that completes the function below. Keep the given name and signature; define `task_func` at module level.

Allowed libraries: `glob`, `subprocess`, `random`, `os`, `csv`.

```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', ...]
    """

You are an expert programmer. Solve the task exactly as specified. Output your solution as fenced code blocks using the required file name(s) and the exact function/type signatures requested. Prefer correctness; do not include prose outside code unless asked.
Proposed solution
Looking at this task, I need to:

1. Check if the file exists and is a CSV file
2. Use the `split` shell command to divide the CSV into smaller files
3. Shuffle the lines in each resulting file
4. Return the paths to the split files

Let me implement this step by step:

```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.

        # Use split command to divide the file
        # The split command creates files with default names like 'xaa', 'xab', etc.
        # We'll use a prefix for the output files
        split_prefix = os.path.join(dir_path, 'split_')
        
        # Run the split command - split into chunks of lines (using a reasonable default)
        # We'll split into files with 100 lines each (excluding header if present)

        # Shuffle each file's content
        for split_file in split_files:
            try:

                with open(split_file, 'r', newline='') as f:
