Does this alteration at the top make it any clearer?
Note: at the command prompt, I use the following terminology:
# means run as root
$ means run as user
Inside a file, "#" mean it is a comment
Others might have better suggestions but the way I tend to do this is to simply
prefix any commands that must be run as root with 'sudo', eg;
$ sudo rndc reconfig
$ tail /var/log/syslog
Thus it’s hopefully clear which lines need to be run with root privileges and
demonstrates using sudo to achieve this.
Best,
Richard.
I have used su for such in the past:
$ su root -c "command and parameters"
to make it obvious it is a root command.
I personally can't stand the sudo command, so
I usually avoid it.
Lately, I just use # and $, but I can see now
where that would cause some confusion.
