AIX

I figured out a solution to my problem. As I stated earlier I was able to set the root variables, everything except for the PS1 variables. I found a modification that allows me to set the PS1 variables and that in turn will allow me to run the portion of the script as root with both the env variables and the PS1 variables set.

I have to separate out the actual sudo command into another shell script and then call that script using the sudo command and the PS1 variables get set.

Example (Command placed into it's own executable file)
File name: test1.scr

Solution: Run the test1.scr script

Code:

sudo -u root test1.scr

Hi. I am on vacation - for another two weeks - but rather than an addon, you could also look at RBAC on AIX. And as long as a script begins with #!you can even add a script to RBAC.

Just reply here if your are interested or curious - I will go into more details for your questions when I am back (roughly another 10 days).
