Adding a Hyphen to su
I’ve noticed some of the technicians I work with add the hyphen to the end of the ’su’ command and some do not. I am one of those that do not do this. Why type an extra character? To my suprise I’ve actually been doing more typing by leaving off that little hypen. The hyphen sets you up in root’s enviroment instead of the previous users. No more having to manually prefix commands with ‘/sbin/’. Woo hoo. The things I get excited about.
