JonWW, another problem... I've tried what you've said doing the following: But its still not running as root. If I manually paste it in Xterm, it doesn't work either. If I type 'root' first, then type it, it works. Get what I mean? What can I do to get around this? Thanks again.
#!/bin/sh # gain superuser rights. if [ `id -u` != 0 ] ; then exec sudo gainroot <<EOF exec sh $0 $* EOF exit $? fi # put your code below
