Bug#689609: running sudo inside a script is a bad design

2013-06-26 Thread Chris Hiestand
I would say this should be a bug for upstream to fix. It's usually a bad idea to use sudo within a script because suddenly the script is opaquely running as different users. Instead, the script should either require the user to be root (or within sudo); or handle the situation where the user is
