@i7strelok2 @w2leo Have you found solution or I update it?

Not yet. For AWS Linux 2023 I have no solution yet. If you have and can share - it would be great!

A major bug in this script is using PATH as a temporary storage for the current path (pwd). It overwrites the paths to the commands and then the script doesn't know where "cd", "sudo", "yum", "amazon-linux-extras" are anymore. It is good to change paths to the users folder when building the imap.so file but make sure to use a variable that doesn't collide with the working system variables.
