Run a scrip as root

hraposo · 08-28-2007, 03:57 PM

I made a script. What I want is when do double click and I say to execute in consoles, that this script run as root… what it does not happen.
What commands I must place at the beginning of script for it run as root?

If you really need to have unprivileged users run a script with root account rights use Sudo.

What I want is in the script, below:
#!/bin/sh

A line of comand that when I do double click on scrip, opens a console as root an the script runs (as root).

to get into root user...
type 'su' as regular user....be careful with root priviledges.. you can
harm ur pc

$ su

now once ur in as root
just type ./ before the name of the script..
if the name of the script is "Hello" type as root

# ./Hello
