Thread: Upstart and Sudo - Emails from Root

i getting weird issue.

running 10.04 of ubuntu. have postfix mail server installed , set send alerts.

when have following script in in /etc/init/airvideo.conf file described here http://wiki.birth-online.de/know-how...o-server-linux.

code:

start on runlevel [2345] stop on shutdown respawn  exec sudo -h -n -u johnnytk36 /usr/bin/java -jar /home/johnnytk36/avs/airvideoserverlinux.jar /home/johnnytk36/avs/avs.properties

when boot air video server starts , have no issues it. im having issue if have airvideo.conf file in etc/init/ folder needs to boot receive email postfix server subject.

code:

*** security information server ***

& body of

code:

server : aug 30 18:30:30 : root :  ***

the *** in body random strange combo of few characters.

think has permissions, don't know issue is. think email trying tell me tried guess root pass.


know said karmic linux , i'm using lucid. might issue, don't know.

update: after spending 6 hours debugging could, cant figure out. have narrowed down fact using sudo command while in root. think triggers email sent. seems bypassing setting can think of stop this. have tried edit sudoers file not allow email sent, no matter did. didn't work.

added sudoers file:

code:

defaults    mail_always=off defaults    mail_badpass=off defaults    mail_no_user=off defaults    mail_no_host=off defaults    mail_no_perms=off

here auth log output:

code:

aug 31 02:05:21 server sudo:     root : tty=unknown ; pwd=/ ; user=johnnytk36 ; command=/bin/bash -c /usr/bin/java -djava.awt.headless=true -jar /opt/avs/airvideoserverlinux.jar /opt/avs/avs.properties

could if fact sudeurs file readable root?

appreciated.

i've given , i'm going filter in gmail delete email comes in. might true bug, dont care anymore. if else using 10.04 sees this, let me know, know i'm not alone.

update 2: fixed

hostname in host files , real hostname didn't match. had changed few weeks ago. still dont know why sudeors file ignored settings not send emails though.
