-i The -i (simulate initial login) option runs the shell specified in | |
the passwd(5) entry of the user that the command is being run as. | |
The command name argument given to the shell begins with a ‘-’ to | |
tell the shell to run as a login shell. sudo attempts to change to | |
that user’s home directory before running the shell. It also ini‐ | |
tializes the environment, leaving TERM unchanged, setting HOME, | |
SHELL, USER, LOGNAME, and PATH, and unsetting all other environment | |
variables. Note that because the shell to use is determined before | |
the sudoers file is parsed, a runas_default setting in sudoers will | |
specify the user to run the shell as but will not affect which | |
shell is actually run. | |
