If I pipe data from a command using sudo to another that doesn't the second command isn't root right?

Yes

@jonas-w and there is of course a way to verify this say with a script ?

What's it like getuid for bash?

@AvatarOfKaine

A pipe command is redirecting stdout to stdin.

If you want all the nitty gritty, there was the dirty pipe bug in the Linux kernel...

Long read, but it covers pretty everything regarding what pipe is, what it does and how it works.

@IntrusionCM yeah i just wondered about how the second cmd was being called is all.

that and someone messed with my software in the past

@IntrusionCM its one of those cases when someone messed with my once sound logic for a purpose. fuck zimmerman
