Full Discussion: SUID works for shell scripts??

You may find that the filesystem containing your script prevents SUID being recognised.

You don't tell us your actual OS, but can you show us the output from:-
Code:
df  /path/to/script
grep  file-system  /etc/?fstab  /etc/filesystems

The file-system will be the right-most column from the df command. I've asked it to search in various places (some of which won't exist) to try to cover all operating systems.

NAME

       filesystem - event signalling that filesystems have been mounted

SYNOPSIS

       filesystem [ENV]...

DESCRIPTION

       The  filesystem	event  is  generated by the mountall(8) daemon after it has mounted all filesystems listed in fstab(5).  mountall(8) emits
       this event as an informational signal, services and tasks started or stopped by this event will do so in parallel with other activity.

EXAMPLE

       A service that wishes to be running once filesystems are mounted might use:

	      start on filesystem

SEE ALSO

       mounting(7) mounted(7) virtual-filesystems(7) local-filesystems(7) remote-filesystems(7) all-swaps(7)
