I am prompted for the password of email-reminder account and this
one is locked (! in second field of shadow file).
If I add a password to that account and unlock it, $distro is still
empty
--> {} <--
instead of getting the version like when I use a normal user account:
--> {Debian GNU/Linux testing (stretch)
} <--
Code has been modified as follow for testing:
my $distro = `/bin/su - email-reminder -s /bin/sh -c "/usr/bin/lsb_release -s
-d"`;
print "--> {$distro} <--";
chomp $distro;
