Firstly, I tried the command: sudo su - -l -c "rest of the line" It didn't work Next, I tried: sudo su- -l -c "rest of the line" It didn't work either On the third try, I typed: sudo -i followed by "rest of the line" (I ignored -l -c because if I included them, the "rest of the line" wouldn't be executed. Besides I don't know what the arguments -l -c stand for.) Alternatively, one could type: sudo su Best regards. Stella
