wierd issue where if you use sudo command for certain commands it is not found. But runnning it as root user WITHOUT sudo does work
root@ip-172-31-43-153:/home/ubuntu# sudo xfs_growfs -d /
sudo: xfs_growfs: command not found
root@ip-172-31-43-153:/home/ubuntu# which xfs_growfs
/usr/sbin/xfs_growfs
root@ip-172-31-43-153:/home/ubuntu# sudo which xfs_growfs
root@ip-172-31-43-153:/home/ubuntu#
path is identical
root@ip-172-31-43-153:/home/ubuntu# sudo echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin
root@ip-172-31-43-153:/home/ubuntu# echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin
Honestly pretty mind boggling. I can't restart the machine atm so I have no idea if a restart would fix this.
edit:
I recon the problem is the fact that secure_path is repeated here:
root@ip-172-31-43-153:/usr/bin# sudo -l
Matching Defaults entries for root on ip-172-31-43-153:
env_reset, mail_badpass, secure_path=/usr/local/sbin\:/usr/local/bin\:/usr/sbin\:/usr/bin\:/sbin\:/bin\:/snap/bin, use_pty, secure_path=/usr/bin
Which mean that the path is overrided to just /usr/sbin?
It looks like sudo which works for anything in /usr/sbin
root@ip-172-31-43-153:/usr/bin# sudo which gio
/usr/bin/gio
root@ip-172-31-43-153:/usr/bin# which gio
/usr/bin/gio
But I have no Idea how it got like this or how to fix it
/etc/sudoers only has this:
root@ip-172-31-43-153:/sbin# cat /etc/sudoers |grep secure
Defaults secure_path="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/snap/bin"
