Sourcing as root automatically
Hey everyone! I have my .bash_profile file which is read automatically when I launch Terminal therefore I can run my own functions. BUT. When I do: Code:
sudo -s Code:
sudo su Code:
sudo su - No matter what I do, I can't get the .bash_profile file to be sourced automatically so I end up having to run different commands. Example: I have this function: Code:
aaa(){
if [ `id -u` -eq 0 ]
then rm ~/Whatever/*
else echo PERMISSION DENIED
fi
}Running: Code:
aaa Output: Code:
PERMISSION DENIED Running: Code:
sudo aaa Output: Code:
sudo: aaa: command not found So I end up having to type: Code:
sudo -s source ~/.bash_profile aaa Any possible way I can make shell source .bash_profile automatically when logging as sudo? Thanks! P.S: I know I can just add it to the bashrc file in /etc/, I'd just like to avoid that workaround. |

su - does source the profile as it does a login. But, as you su to another user, it sources that user's profile, so make sure
aaa is in root's profile and it will fly.
