    Thank you for the suggestions! In addition to the above, I found the following also works:


    sudo -i myscript

    Thanks again. I'll mark this thread as solved.
  9. [SOLVED] Re: Running bash script as root from anywhere

    Also, yes, you are right and it does work when I put it in /usr/local/bin but I would still like to figure out how to make it run when it's located in /my/path/.

    Still doesn't work.

  15. [SOLVED] Re: Running bash script as root from anywhere

    The whole point is to be able to run the script from *anywhere* so I don't want to have to do sudo ./myscript.sh - if I add the /path/to/myscript.sh to $PATH, that should allow me to simply run sudo...
