Is there a way to make it use root's path? or at least add something to the PATH? I've looked at /etc/sudoers but I'm not sure what to add there or if it's even possible. -- 43 things

yock TFTC Premium join:2000-11-21 Fairfield, OH	reply to laura The extra dash in... sudo - -c "command" ...indicates that sudo should source root's profile. Among other things, that'll get you /sbin and the like in $PATH. You could always reference the full path of the command if you don't need everything else that comes with root's profile. -- Have more fun with your GPS. Geocaching.com
