How to enable auto "sudo gainroot" command in XTerminal??
 

Everytime we use xTerminal, we almost always use the sudo gainroot command to gain root access. I don't wanna have to type this everytime, is there a tweak that automatically opens xTerminal with the root access enabled already??

There is probably a way to launch root terminal directly

I strongly discourage this.

thanks fatalsaint, that solved my problem.

And to the 2 other users who replied, no offense but they're kinda pointless and useless answers. If you don't have anything good to suggest, then don't reply at all, just saying.


And of course there is a way, i've seen several threads about this but people had problems with it when trying to modify a few files and put into certain folders. However, Filebox allows root access and opens xTerminal with root access enabled already, so that's the type of tweak or solution i'm looking for.

My reply was positive, no criticism and helps keeping the hopes up, and i wasn't lying, at the time it was my honest opinion that there probably was a way to do it.

You could create an alias so you only have to type (for example) "r"

add this line to /etc/profile (you'll have to be root)

Now next time you'll login, just type "r" instead :)

just type 'root' it does the same as sudo gainroot and is much quicker, and you only enable root access in a terminal session if you need it, it shouldnt be enabled automatically.

why does it go to a different folder?
