Hi,
The easiest way to see what's happening is to think in terms of PIDs.
In the shell (PID 124, let's say) you run
, which will launch a sub-shell (PID 128, say). That subshell will then be the context for running the script, and the first line will be run in it. That is:
This has for effect to start a root shell (PID 130).
The rest of the rbt script is now blocked, waiting for PID 130 to exit.
If your sudoers file is set up correctly (that is, you've given yourself permission to run all commands as root via sudo), then you can try running
directly.
Dave.

Code:
#!/bin/sh
if [ `id -u` != 0 ] ; then
#if not already root, call itself as root
exec sudo gainroot <<EOF
exec $0 $*
EOF
exit $?
fi
#real script follows
reboot
EDIT: It may just be easier to use this; which can be run as user:
Code:
dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest="com.nokia.mce" --print-reply "/com/nokia/mce/request" com.nokia.mce.request.req_reboot

sudo gainroot
reboot
When I "sh rbt", it only executes the first line of code and stops with a "#". It does not run the second line.
What's wrong? Help please. Thanks.
