Hi All, I have a bash script that need to be run as root. In the script, I check to see if it is running as root and flag the user to run appropriately.
Is there a way to use "su" to prompt for the password and continue the script if successful? (I would test for $? after the prompt.) Currently "su" will just open a new shell as root. I can run a command inside "su", but what about the other 200 lines of code? :'( Many thanks, -T -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Computers are like air conditioners.
