I'm, not sure what you mean by "embedded" here, so my guess is that you mean making something like this work for both user and root: user@machine ~/$ cat > aptupgscript.sh <<EOF #!/bin/sh echo Hello sudo aptitude update sudo aptitude upgrade echo Update done by `whoami` || tee ~/done.log EOF user@machine ~/$ chmod a+x aptupgscript.sh user@machine ~/$ ./aptupgscript.sh Hello Update done by user user@machine ~/$ su Enter password: root@machine ~/$ ./aptupgscript.sh Hello Update done by root root@machine ~/$ (Sorry for possible wrong details, I typed it from mind :D) Thanks, aL. --Alois Mahdal using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/
