Shell script execution

[mdii]

Hi, thanks again for the help.

As you said I ran the *radiusd -X *command using the radiusd user, but both
the script and the freeradius call worked.

I also did the following analysis:

[root at ALPRRH sites-available]# *radiusd*

On both "service radiusd start", the script call didn't worked.
On both "radiusd" and "/usr/sbin/radiusd" the script call worked

It looks that in both case is the same user (radiusd) that runs the shell
script, but it only works when manually starting Freeradius. Maybe it's a
timing issue?

Is there a way to see any logs when running *service radiusd start *?
My /var/log/raddb/radius.log don't show any detailed information (neither
/var/log/radius/radacct/<client IP>/auth-detail-20150415)...
