I've modified my .profile to include a folder if a flash drive is plugged in. When running the command as the user it works fine but tells me the scrip must be run by sudo (this is what i want). However, when i try to run it with sudo i get "command not found"
I have a symlink (flash) in my /var/www folder pointing to my /media/flash drive. (nevermind this setup since is just for dev)
this is my user's .profile :
# set PATH so it includes flash scripts
if [ -d "/var/www/flash/scripts" ] ; then
PATH="/var/www/flash/scripts:$PATH"
fi
when trying to run as sudo i get:
sudo: script: command not found
any ideas?

When you run the script as
sudo
you are trying to access root. So your$HOME/.profile
wont be accessed instead/root/.profile
will be accessed.So make the changes what ever you did in
$HOME/.profile
to/root/.profile
. To create/root/.profile
. Use the following commands.after making the changes try running the script.
or edit
$HOME/.bashrc
and add the following lineHope this helps.
