Any sugestions?
Are you using:
sudo <command>
or
su -c <command>
If you do the first, you are not getting the root environment, with the
second you are. But the problem is that feedback doesn't get to you
properly.
In any critical script, I use nearly every time:
sudo su -c command
For some reason, it has never failed me.
