Re: How to 'su' to root from a script using Xdialog?



Your choices are gksu, kdesu, sux, or su -c. To make a dialog you can just tell it to output "This program requires root permission." and then run the command.

You could use 'sux', but you need to install that program.

right.

Or you can do this:

/bin/su - $USER -c command

With this you will avoid $DISPLAY problems.

This is what I genrally use, but it requires a terminal to enter the
password.  I do not like to use the terminal, but a fd or something
like this.

I like to have a Dialog which tell the $USER: "This programm requires
root permission. Please enter the password:"
