And even being able to answer the question "how was sudo executed" doesn't solve the problem of ensuring that the script is executing within a particular directory. All it takes is the user cd'ing to a different directory before running the script. > In fact, I suspect "I need to know if the cwd is /root" is STILL an X-Y > problem. Agreed. Also, a few things worth noting: * The current working directory will ALWAYS be ".". That's what "." at the beginning of a relative path _means_. So testing the current working directory against the actual path corresponding to "." will always return a truthy result. * The home directory of the root user won't necessarily be /root. By convention it often is, but there's no guarantee that this is the case. * There can be multiple users with the same numerical user ID (including 0), with different user names and home directories but access to the same files. The BSDs do this often; Linux systems more rarely so, but it's absolutely possible. And that's just what I can think of off the top of my head. -- Michael Kjörling 🔗 https://michael.kjorling.se “Remember when, on the Internet, nobody cared that you were a dog?”
