gksu-polkit syntax problem

Linux.tar.gz · 10-13-2013, 04:59 AM

Hi !

I can't launch "complex" commands as root.

Code:

gksu-polkit xterm

is working, but

Code:

gksu-polkit xterm -e top

doesn't.

How to solve this please ?

try

Code:

gksu 'xterm -e top'

but pressing q causes shell to close so I can't kill anything only look

suggest if you need root powers keep it simple
either
create a desktop entry that calls a terminal using root
or
open a terminal go to root and see something then kill it
