In my homedir:
.bash_profile loads .bashrc
.bashrc says export PATH="~/bin/overrideglobal:${PATH}:~/bin" (and
defines some aliases)
In root's: I have no such files.
Maybe it would be less distracting if I don't use a shell at all :
youngfrog@geodiff-mac3 ~ $ sudo -i env | grep ^PATH
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.5.4:/usr/local/texlive/2012/bin/i386-linux:/root/bin
youngfrog@geodiff-mac3 ~ $ sudo env | grep ^PATH
PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/opt/bin:/usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/i386-linux
Joost> What do you get with "echo $PATH" when not using sudo?
You mean, when I'm logged in as root ? Then it's the same as when using
sudo -i.
N.
