[jira] [Commented] (NIFI-4913) Specifying "run.as" in bootstrap.properties causes environment variables to not be passed to NiFi

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-4913?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16982582#comment-16982582 ] 

Joe Witt commented on NIFI-4913:
--------------------------------

From https://linux.die.net/man/8/sudo


-E' The -E (preserve environment) option indicates to the security policy that the user wishes to preserve their existing environment variables. The security policy may return an error if the -E option is specified and the user does not have permission to preserve the environment.


We should do something to ensure the user gets reasonable response if this is not possible and it should avoid doing it unless necessary.  We dont want to increase the risk of this command not working.
