I'm afraid I have no idea, but if you're using a system
where it works, I recommend using strace for solving this
sort of problem. Instead of invoking foo.sh, change your
config to invoke a script,
#!/bin/sh
exec strace -f -o /tmp/strace.out.$$ /path/to/real/foo.sh
then send an appropriate mail and examine the strace
output to see where it's going wrong. (NB that the use of
a temporary file above isn't safe, so if you have
untrusted users on the machine output the file to the home
directory of the user under which the script is run.)
