 Posted: Fri Mar 03, 2006 10:55 am Post subject: run script with root permision |
 |
|
on boot my system run script with root permision but only once
after that it run with user permision. How I can run this script from root?
| Code: |
#!/bin/bash
while (sleep 5)
do
RESULT3=`ps ax|grep new|grep print`;
if [ "$RESULT3" == "" ]
then
cp /home/user/.Xauthority /root/.Xauthority
su -c "DISPLAY=:0 /usr/share/print/new_print > /dev/null &" user;
fi
done
|
I think su must read root password from file. But how to do this? |

su -c "what ever you what to execute"
make shure your user is in the wheel group.

if you have env_keep=DISPLAY on for your sudo user you can just start xcalc:
from within an xterm

this is part of my sudoers file (edit with visudo!):
| Code: | # Allow users in group users to export specific variables
Defaults:%users env_keep=DISPLAY
