[mythtv-users] EXEC command in MythTV menu

[Phill Edwards]

I'm trying to call Kodi from a MythTV menu. The menu runs an EXEC command
to run a shell script which:

a) starts up a VPN connection on the Mythfrontend machine, and then
b) runs Kodi

When I run the command manually from a command prompt (minus the "EXEC")
everything works fine. But when I select the menu item nothing happens. The
menu command is:

EXEC cat /home/phill/.pme-password | sudo -kS ./kodi_start_with_vpn.sh

Any suggestions as to why it works from a command prompt but not from the
MythTV menu? Or how I can get some debug info to find out what's going on?
