Again, there's no reason to use both "sudo" AND "su".  Just "sudo -s"
would give you the interactive root shell, without changing directory.

I feel like you're doing "sudo su" out of some bad habit that you've
developed.  You'd be doing yourself a favor if you retrain yourself
to use "sudo -s" instead.

Greg, I think I need to change the paths in the sudoer file. I just tried the "sudo -i" and sudo -s" incantations on my script and they still don't have the needed path component.

I use the "/etc/sudoers.d" directory with my "username-sudoer" file under it. Is that file a place where I could affect the path with some kind of bashism?
