Not specifically, but this (init-style scripts which don't error but
also don't actually start their daemon) is an issue which pops up
sporadically and I don't believe we've figured out what the cause is
yet. Which Fabric version are you using?

If I were on the system in question I'd be instrumenting the script in
question with echo statements to try and get a handle on what's
happening inside the script, in both scenarios (Fabric and manual).

Another thing to try is to explicitly give the "pty" kwarg to run/sudo
(so if you're on Fab 1.x and are not already specifying it, it'll be
True, so try eg sudo(command, pty=False)). Pretty sure we've already
ruled that out but it's still worth double checking.

Thanks,
Jeff
