This is officialy driving me nuts!
with the busybox su logged in as nobody:
$ su -c ls nobody
su: This applet requires root priviledges!
So - I can only do su -c as root. Ok I thought - I'll detect whose running the
/etc/init.d script. Unfortunately - when a process is started via init - $USER
is empty (no shell, no environment I guess)
Also unfortunately - when apache cgi shell script runs /etc/init.d script -
$USER is also empty.
Still stuck with my original proplem ...
