Hi folks, I'm creating a GUI front-end for the adsl scripts which need to run as root. The bash command is usually:
"su root adsl-start". My problem is how to pass the root password which the user enters into the GUI to this command. Is it possible? I tried opening a perl pipe like this which worked on windows with gpg: ----- ...."|su root adsl-start"... print PIPE $passw."\n"; ------ and this:..."$passw|su root adsl-start"... ----- If one of the many attempts "works" syntactically, I still get prompted at the console. Is there a way to pass the password with being prompted? (I'm not new to Perl, but new to Perl on *nix, so I feel like a beginner again.)
