OK, i have finally figured out how to run some of scripts as root, when started by user.
I have a bunch of 5 scripts, with a main script acting as the menu or gateway. The main script is launched normally via an icon as

Code:

sh parentscript.sh

in that script, it calls the other scripts as

Code:

sudo run-standalone.sh sh childscript1.sh

This methodology seems to be working for me. But one the users of this app is having a problem that xterm is asking for password on execution of sudo run-standalon.sh.

Can anybody help us?
