The SUDO_COMMAND environment variable would report /bin/bash in that
instance. Would that be sufficient for your needs?

If not, then what exactly are you trying to accomplish? Please don't say
"I want to know if sudo -i was used" because we already know that. Why
is that a necessary piece of information in your use case? What will you
do with that information? What decision will you make? What action will
you take?
