    Please edit your question and explain what you need. Using sudo -i like that doesn't make much sense, so we need to understand why you think that is the solution. Can't you just run sudo -i /home/user/myscript.sh? More importantly, why would you need root's login environment? Commented Mar 30, 2021 at 7:59

    @yoon, I edited to add that comment in to the question, since it seems rather an important point as to why you're doing this. In general, you can edit to add clarifications to the question itself. (Information in comments can be missed easily.) Commented Mar 30, 2021 at 9:30
