EDIT: OK - I was wrong to think that here we might have a possible rclone bug. At worse, we have a bug or limitation of the program called script. I solved the problem by doing the following.
export rl_UserMain
#shellcheck disable=2155
export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/run/user/$(id -u "$rl_UserMain")/bus
if su "$rl_UserMain" "$fullPathToScript"
then
rl_dropPrivileges_success
else
rl_dropPrivileges_fail "$fullPathToScript"
fi
[End edit.]
What is the problem you are having with rclone?
I have a library I wrote in bash and several bash scripts that use the library. The purpose of all that stuff is to run backups via rclone. One of my scripts works fine when run normally. However, when run as root, it fails with a 'HTTP/1.x transport connection broken' error. More exactly: when run as root, my script relaunches itself as a normal user - and it is under those circumstances (was root, but then dropped privileges) that I get the problem. I have had a problem a few times now, and on two computers.
The Rclone log suggests that 'typescript' is somehow to blame. So here it is relevant to add the code that I use to re-run my script as another user. That code is as follows.
script -q -c "su $rl_UserMain $fullPathToScript"
