Hi,
If you use
su only, you assume root privileges without the root environment. Rather do su - which gives you the full root environment, including path. The same holds for other users, i..e su - joe switches the user to the user joe with full environment.
Thanks a million for that! Going to save me a ton of time from issuing whereis command to find commands when I need to follow instructions off a website!
