I have searched in > google and found only this link on the subject try using "gksudo", this assumes the user is set up to use sudo [on Ubuntu this is usually the case, not on the others] Generally it will ask for a password the first time root access is needed but not thereafter. The other solution is the traditional UNIX one: to have a small program which is "su exec", this is particular mode which means the program is run as whoever owns the file, not the user running it. The mode is set using chmod chmod u+s my-program The wrinkle this that interpreted programs like Gambas can't do this, only complied programs can So you would need to write a small program in C/Pascal etc to do the su work which the gambas program calls.
