| tsujp | When do user-data scripts execute? | 14:56 |
| tsujp | Things like $USER and $HOME don't exist in `env` in my debug attempts | 14:56 |
| goneri | tsujp, I would try something like: `sudo -i -u myuser mycommand` | 15:07 |
| tsujp | ok goneri will try now | 15:09 |
| tsujp | where is this `-i` and `-u` coming from goneri? I don't see those as valid flags on ubuntu `su`? | 15:11 |
| tsujp | `man su` doesn't show them | 15:11 |
| goneri | my example is based on sudo. You can do the same thing with su. | 15:12 |
| tsujp | oh whoops `sudo` read that as `su` for some reason... | 15:12 |
| tsujp | well im already root, right. This is a user-data script | 15:12 |
| tsujp | I'm going to re-try `su -l myuser` to double check it does not work | 15:13 |
| tsujp | Why would `sudo` from root be any different? | 15:13 |
| goneri | yes but by doing so you impersonate the user. | 15:13 |
| tsujp | if mycommend is a shell script will that keep the impersonation? | 15:13 |
| goneri | yes. Take a look at the docuementation of sudo's -i/--login parameter | 15:14 |
| tsujp | will do goneri | 15:21 |
| tsujp | Yeah you guys were right, turns out I was a big dumb dumb and because I was testing this locally in an interactive-shell doing `su - myuser` drops me into that shell | 15:25 |
| tsujp | but because it's interactive it doesnt immediately exit right | 15:25 |
| tsujp | What a brainfart that took like 30 minutes to alleviate, maybe it's bed time for me | 15:26 |
| tsujp | Anyway thank you for the help :) | 15:26 |
| goneri | Good night tsujp :-) | 15:26 |
| rharper | paride: thanks for the bot upgrade | 17:24 |
