All commands need to be issued in the context of user "root". If you
will do that by using "sudo" you will need the complete path of the
commands [added in ()].

That last part is not correct. You can issue all commands as user when
the whole path is given. e.g. `/usr/sbin/route -n` as user just works.
No need for sudo here.
