but kinda defeats the point doesnt it?
it would be great if you could explain like you would to a 13 year old child.
sorry :P

Code:

root
unzip /home/user/MyDocs/knight-rider.zip /root/
cd /root/opt/scripts/
chmod +x KR

I think

I know pretty much rock all about linux programming, but could it be done using this?

And the file /usr/bin/slide will be executed whenever the keyboard is opened or closed.

If we just have it run the kr script instead of the 'slide' file would that work? Would we still have permissions issues needing to be root?

Ok, try:

Code:

root
cd /home/user/MyDocs/
unzip xf knight-rider.zip  -C /root/
cd /root/opt/scripts/
chmod +x KR

So what we're doing is:

gain root access
change directory to /home/user/MyDocs/
unzip, which is the process,
x extracts, f is the file (could be a drive or whatever)
knight-rider.zip is the file to run the command on
-C changes directory before extracting
/root/ tells unzip where to extract to

change directory to /root/opt/scripts/
make KR excecutable

Ok that might make things easier

so you have opt and usr directories from the zip extracted to your MyDocs directory?

If so:

Code:

root

Code:

cp -r /home/user/MyDocs/opt /root
cp -r /home/user/MyDocs/usr /root
cd /root/opt/scripts/
chmod +x KR

no!i have the KR file extracted and ready, that way you can skip the whole UNZIP command.
all i have is the KR file in MyDocs.
i do not have ANYTHING else.i dont know if i have the opt file in the root directory either.
so what i have to do (from what ive read is) i have to paste the KR file inside /root/opt/scripts (which is a default folder?if not please give me a command for this too :$)
and then be able to execute the command too!
thanks alot for your time man.

Inside the zip file there are 2 directories/folders, 'opt' and 'usr'.

These 2 directories need to be moved to the folder /root.

The KR file will be in the scripts folder within opt

All that command I gave you did was copied the folder '/home/user/MyDocs/opt' and '/home/user/MyDocs/usr' (which you said you had extracted to MyDocs ) to /root

The next command changed directory to /root/opt/scripts

The next command makes KR executable

Nowhere in there was an unzip/extract command
