Thank You MohammadAG, obviously, it works like a charm now!

I must write this - it keeps me amazed how knowledgeable and competitive some people here are. Really, no sugar-coating - I could probably search for this +- forever without *any* success, and You MohammadAG "just" throw answer out of Your head.

Anyway, possibly last question on this topic - I like to learn when I've a chance - is there a way to run sh script with "sudo" via .desktop shortcut *without* terminal window flashing (turning on and closing after executing)?

I know, this one is probably simple newbie thing, but I've searched many threads about shortcut making on forum (not to mention wiki), and while .sh scripts that doesn't need root privileges run just fine without terminal, when invoked via "Exec=" in .desktop, the best thing I could achieve to run root things was to

Code:
Exec=/usr/bin/osso-xterm 'sudo bnf'
... which, obviously, flash terminal window, not to mention throwing us into dashboard (and outside any fullscreen program), if we're multitasking.

Every attempts with "bnf.sh | sudo gainroot", busybox sh -c 'usr/bin/bnf.sh | sudo gainroot' etc., failed miserably.

Thanks in advance for help, and really, enormous thanks for last one, I'm really impressed.


// Edit

Also thanks Karam, although I really would not like to open system for everything, just for this little script Nevertheless, thanks for trying to help.
