hook_user_update and Field API

Hello,

I implemented hook_user_update in a module and I'm executing a shell script after this that collect all kind of data.

The problem is that when I do so, the data is not still updated.

I'm using Field API and my question is, it is possible that field API values are updated AFTER hook_user_update?

Thanks!

See user_save().

Not according to the code in user_save() that handles all this.

$edit isn't what you think it is

By the time we get to hook_user_update, $edit and $account are actually the same. If you need to check for changed values, compare $account and $account->original instead.
