bash: su - changes directory to /root
 

hello,


in bash, whenever i do:

>su root

the directory changes to /root but i would like to keep the same directory i had (like /home/something) before the 'su root.' i looked at the shell variables but i don't see any for that specific reason.

which one is it?

TX

use :
and that will keep you in the folder your located in when you change to root

thanks :)
