Thank you very much for the information. Never considered the httpd.conf file but your suggestion did fix one issue I was having.

The envvars file did have the correct variable path statement in it which still begs the question as to why issuing a sudo <any command> doesn't pick up any environment variables. Unless it's the fact that even though your telling the system to issue the command as root, you're not initiating root user and the environment settings like you would if you switch to root using sudo su - root.

efi_ls

efi_ls(1M)																efi_ls(1M)

NAME

       efi_ls - list EFI file information or contents of an EFI directory

SYNOPSIS

       devicefile] [path]

DESCRIPTION

       lists file information or contents of an EFI directory.

       The EFI file system is based on the FAT file system and used by the Itanium-based system BIOS to locate an HP-UX bootloader.  See efi(4).

       lists  filenames,  last	modified  dates,  and file sizes.  devicefile should be a device file for an EFI volume.  Given a path, determines
       whether the path is a file or a directory.  For a file, lists the file by itself.  For a directory, lists the contents  of  the	directory.
       If no path is given, lists the root directory for EFI volume.  A path should be relative to the root of the EFI volume specified by device-
       file, not to an HP-UX file system.

   Options
       recognizes the following option:

       devicefile     is the device special file of the EFI file system to be listed.  Without the option, uses the device file specified  in  the
		      environment variable if it is defined.  The option overrides the environment variable.

RETURN VALUE

       returns exit code 0 on success.	Otherwise it prints a diagnostic message and returns nonzero.

	   0	  Successful completion.
	  >0	  Error condition occurred.

EXAMPLES

       List a root directory of device file which contains an EFI file system:

       List a root directory of the persistent device file (see intro(7)), which contains an EFI file system:

       List the contents of directory of device file which contains an EFI file system:

       List information about the file of device file which contains an EFI file system:
