Package: sudo Architecture: amd64 Version: 1.6.8p12-4 Hi, my bash-script calls sudo to copy a file in the name of a certain user. if root calls the script it works fine, but executed as cron job sudo silently does nothing... The users login shell is /bin/false but /bin/bash does not change anything! There is no error message in auth.log see below nor on command line. Maybe the lack of TTY causes some unwanted behaviour?! How can I get more debug infos?
