[sudo-users] sudo and shell scripts.

[Gary.Haden at saga.co.uk]

Hi,

We have a script that runs as root fine but when we run as another user and
- sudo -u root <script> we get -

/saga/bin/env_create/createTIAUser.shl: syntax error at line 61:
`DBUSERNAME=$'
unexpected

Line 61 is DBUSERNAME=$(echo $DBUSERNAME | tr '[a-z]' '[A-Z]')

Is sudo ignoring the (echo $DBUSERNAME | tr '[a-z]' '[A-Z]') part of the
line and only reading DBUSERNAME=$? Do brackets ( ) mean something
different in sudo?

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Gary.
