but not with sudo gainroot
No, neither user nor "root" use run-standalone.sh, it has to do with environment variables being set in one and not the other.

but you need to do this first

Code:
echo "user ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL" >> everybody.sudoers
echo "root ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL" >> everybody.sudoers
mv everybody.sudoers /etc/sudoers.d
update-sudoers
this will let you run sudo #anything as root
also double root is possible
That would also allow a sudo rm -rf /path/to/root, keeping some security on the system is saner.
