Greetings,
Thanks for those who emailed me with suggestions, however this is still a
no go.
I would like to point out that as of version 3 this is a different thing
than it was in version 2.
According to the rivendell operations guide
******************************************
13.8.37. Run Shell Command [RN]
Module ripcd(8)
Mnemonic RN
Run a shell command.
RN cmd!
Run the shell command cmd.
Note
*The command is actually executed as:runuser -u user -g group cmd*
where user and group are the values specified by the "RnRmlOwner=" and
"RnRmlGroup="
directives in the "[Identity]" section of rd.conf(5). See the runuser(1)
man page for details
concerning handling of the process environment.
*****************************************
The bold entry I have noted would seem to be important because if you
specify
RnRmlOwner=anyuser (except root) and RnRmlGroup=anygroup
for example
then the command runuser will fail because according to "man runuser"
-g, --group=group
specify the primary group,
*this option is allowed for root user only*
so according to the documentation the only user you could specify that
would work is root.
This works in a terminal
In Rivendell, Guess what? That doesn't work either.
According to man runuser default path is /usr/local/bin thats where my
scripts are
the default env is /bin/bash or /bin/sh or /usr/bin/bash I'm all good with
that
My scripts run from the command line perfectly
in a terminal "runuser -u root -g root cmd" runs perfection
so the verdict is it should work except it doesn't
