[sudo-users] sudo and shell scripts.

[Gary.Haden at saga.co.uk]

Hi,

There is a shebang in there but not at the top, so we'll move it to the
top. However both root, and the user we are running sudo as have korn shell
by default so the only shell i'd expect to run would be ksh.

But we'll change the shebang and see what happens.

Thanks for your advice.

Gary.

Doesn't have the root user a different shell?
For example, bourne shell doesn't support $(), I think.
Do you have a shebang at the beginning of your script?
