'sudo -s' does not mean "run the lines after this in a new shell". It means "run a completely new, independent shell with root permissions".
It works in terminal because the shell runs text from standard-input, so ends up reading the same thing even after the new shell is launched. Scripts are not fed into standard input, so the new subshell doesn't share the same input lines.
Try this:
That feeds it into stdin, causing the sharing you expected.
Generally though, if you want to run a script as sudo, it's sudo script, not a script containing sudo.
Hi, thanks for the response. I think I am barking up the wrong tree here. sudo does not seem to be the way to go. Maybe I would be better off changing the permissions of my script so that it runs as root.
I've written a shell script to alter a particular preference file on OS X (10.3.9), which works fine (tested by running the script from the terminal sat in front of the box).
Problem is, I now have to run this script remotely across a number of machines via remote desktop, so where I've used the... (1 Reply)

INSTALLSIEVE(1) General Commands Manual INSTALLSIEVE(1)

NAME
installsieve - user utility for managing sieve scripts
SYNOPSIS
installsieve
DESCRIPTION
installsieve is a utility that allows users to manage their sieve scripts kept on the server.
OPTIONS -v <name> View script with the given name. The script if retrieved sucessfully is output to standard output.
-l List all of the scripts currently on the server. If one of the scripts is active a arrow is printed indicating that it is the active
script.
-p <port> Port to connect to. If left off this defaults to "sieve" as defined in /etc/services.
-i <file> Install a file onto the server. If a script with the same name already exists on the server it is overwritten. Upon sucessfully
putting the script on the server the script is set active. If <file> has the extension .script it is chopped when put on the server since
sieve names may not contain a '.'.
-a <name> Set <name> as the active script. The list of available names can be obtained from the '-l' option..
-d <name> Delete the sieve script on the server with <name>.
-m <mechanism> Force installsieve to use <mechanism> for authentication. If not specified the strongest authentication mechanism is chosen.
-g <name> Get the sieve script with <name> and save it to disk with a ".script" extension. If a file with that name already exists it is
overwritten.
-u <user> Userid/Authname to use for authentication; by default, the current user.
