+# This task exists as a convenience for users who need predictable sudo
+# commands without variance to write into their sudoers rules. The only real
+# variable in commands used by peadm is the filename of the PE installer
+# tarball. This task can be used in a pre-plan to homogenize calls to sudo.
+# Rather than literally calling "mv" with a variable filename, the mv.sh task
+# can be called. Inputs come as environment variables so the call doesn't
+# change.
