How to do something to make cmd-shortcuts be root ?

Hi,
I do
Result is
-sh: cannot open echo 0 >/sys/class/backlight/acx565akm/brightness: no such file
so that it is no work in shortcuts by user mode.

Another way, how to do cmd shortcuts become to root mode? Have any idea?

Re: How to do something to make cmd-shortcuts be root ?
 

I've mentioned a trick to do this in another thread post here. See if that works for you.

Re: How to do something to make cmd-shortcuts be root ?
 

It like good idea, but it didn't work.:(
I try
sh: cannot create /sys/class/backlight/acx565akm/brightness: Permission denied
Root shell enabled

I see the link, get the file "disable_ts.desktop". The code is " Exec=/bin/busybox sh -c 'echo "sleep 15; echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/omap2_mcspi.1/spi1.0/disable_ts" | sudo gainroot' "
so I try
But it was the same.:(
In fact, I just run my app.py using by cmd shortcuts launching. But it will modify /sys file so that be permission deny. If it's running in terminal is good by root privilege.

Re: How to do something to make cmd-shortcuts be root ?
 

Hello, since I do develop/maintain/something cmd-shortcuts I thought it good to reply.

I used to assume just typing in "sudo command" would work for most people, but realised it was because of the file /etc/sudoers.d/chroot.sudoers, added by package easy-chroot (dependency of easy-debian), containing a line allowing anything to be run as root. As a solution one might try to add something similar to:
to a new file in /etc/sudoers.d/ (maybe cmd-shortcuts.sudoers).
Otherwise a workaround that seems to work is:
in the command field of the button/shortcut you're creating in case your setup doesn't allow just any command to be run with sudo without giving any password (don't know if this "running any command without password with sudo"-business actually is too good of an idea, but easy-chroot added it for me as I said).

I might add a checkbox "Run as root" implementing a commonly working workaround, maybe intelligently sensing what could work out of a set of alternatives even, in a future version. Hopefully I'll come around to it soon since I've started to notice other tweaks that could be useful (like having a tree structure to sort stuff out when you have many buttons). Alternatively I might do something like adding a /etc/sudoers.d/cmd-shortcuts.sudoers in the default install (hey, easy-chroot does it...).
