Hmm, then I'm not sure what you're *losing* here. The problem, as I
understand it, is that the scripts are getting installed into
/usr/local/bin (which is on PATH at the time they're installed), but
pkexec has a restricted PATH. So if you use which before pkexec'ing,
wouldn't you find the scripts, and then be able to run them without
regard to PATH?
