The $? to check if sudo is working and id -u to check if > it really does switch the user, assumed the output of $? should be 0. Hm? My idea isn't good. [root@archlinux rocketmouse]# /usr/bin/sudo -u rocketmouse -s echo ":)" :) [root@archlinux rocketmouse]# echo $? 0 [root@archlinux rocketmouse]# id -u 0 Perhaps you should test it by adding an additional sudo [root@archlinux rocketmouse]# /usr/bin/sudo -u rocketmouse -s id -u 1000 just to test if it really does work as expected. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
