My problem is this, if it works as root from a bash prompt, why /won't/ it work as root from a bash script? Shoudn't it ask for the password in both instances?
Yeah, you'd think so. When stuff like that happens to me, it's often that the environments are different -- I sometimes have things in my .profile or .bash_profile file that are not in my .bashrc file, so subshells are a bit different than the original shell. Thus, for instance, it is conceiveable that there's a PBPASSWORD variable set in your .profile that isn't set in .bashrc, or something like that. billo -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
