Hi everybody, I don't understand where sudo finds the value for the PATH env variable.
Here is the output of the relevant (at least I thought they were) commands. Can somebody explain to me why I still have /usr/local/texlive/*2011*/bin/i386-linux in the first sudo output ? I don't get it, and did not find anything in the man page of sudo. Thanks in advance for your help. youngfrog@geodiff-mac3 ~ $ bash -c 'echo $PATH' ~/bin/overrideglobal:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.5.4:/usr/games/bin:/usr/local/texlive/2012/bin/i386-linux:~/bin youngfrog@geodiff-mac3 ~ $ source /etc/profile youngfrog@geodiff-mac3 ~ $ bash -c 'echo $PATH' /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.5.4:/usr/games/bin:/usr/local/texlive/2012/bin/i386-linux youngfrog@geodiff-mac3 ~ $ sudo bash -c 'echo $PATH' /bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/opt/bin:/usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/i386-linux youngfrog@geodiff-mac3 ~ $ sudo -i bash -c 'echo $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 grep -r texlive/2011 /etc youngfrog@geodiff-mac3 ~ $ sudo grep -r texlive/2011 ~root /root/.bash_history:cd /usr/local/texlive/2011 /root/.bash_history:grep texlive/2011 * -r /root/.bash_history:grep texlive/2011 . -r /root/.bash_history:grep texlive/2011 .* -r youngfrog@geodiff-mac3 ~ $ grep -v '^#\|^$' /etc/environment PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.5.3:/usr/local/texlive/2012/bin/i386-linux:/root/bin -- N.R.
