I do believe there's some difference between "sudo gainroot" and just "root". but cannot figure out, anyone knows?

Did you try cat /usr/bin/root ?

It shows the content of the file /usr/bin/root, which is the file executed when you run the command "root".

They are different: ls shows files in a directory, cat shows the contents of a file

It shows that the root command indeed runs sudo gainroot with a few switches.

What is difference between:
"sudo gainroot"
and
"exec sudo gainroot --use-su" ?
I ask this because when I used root command I had some problem, so I changed root file with simpler command "sudo gainroot".
