run shell script as other user, but directory stay the same
I have to run a bash script as root. But in this script, there are commands that I have to run as my normal user (he's named "ubuntu"), but when doing it I don't want the current working directory to change.
Things that I tried, but doesn't perfectly work :
Let's say that I am in a folder : /var/www and that I am in super user mode.
-u
sudo -u ubuntu pwdgives me/var/www, which is nice.- But
sudo -u ubuntu which composergives me nothing, which is bad.
-i -u
sudo -i -u ubuntu which composergives me/home/ubuntu/bin/composerwhich is nice.- But
sudo -i -u ubuntu pwdgives me/home/ubuntuwhich is bad.
I also tried to add a -H, or -s but it doesn't help in any way.
What kind of options or tricks could I use to achieve this ?

What are you trying to achieve exactly? Like if you're trying to call/home/ubuntu/bin/composer, you could call it by the full path,/home/ubuntu/bin/composer.

Not exactly, cause I have to execute this script on several machines. Andcomposerwon't be stored at the same place every time. But on all machine, I have a user calledubuntuthat have a command calledcomposer.
