Hi,

When I run pihile-updatelists (or /usr/local/sbin/pihole-updatelists) I alaways get the warning I need to run it with root privileges. So "sudo pihile-updatelists", and this works, however will the scheduler work? Before I could run "pihile-updatelists" without sudo, I don't now what's changed?

Scheduled task will always run as root unless specified otherwise. Previously when executing pihole-updatelists without sudo it silently re-launched itself with sudo pihole-updatelists, because this is a bad practice this behavior was removed.
