[sudo-users] syntax error

[LaComa, Lyn]

It is not a syntax issue, because root can execute the script. 

But I did change it to verify, still get the same error when doing sudo
from lawson id.  And root still works.


Could there be something in the environmental variables that is causing
this?

Hi,

Try removing the space between the $( and the ps -ef statement.

It should be $(ps -ef, etc, etc)

This will be for all of your statements.

It doesn't look like a sudo issue to me, just syntax error within the
script.

Try it out.
