      That’s why I didn’t include any privilege escalation, even if someone ran it as is it would fail. But a warning is also appropriate, thanks.

        That doesn’t make it better.

        The first thing a novice user learns is to slap sudo in the front if they don’t have access to do something.

          Nobody puts var on its own partition anymore, it would sill fail.
