Hi, I'd greatly appreciate if some one can help me out on this one. How do I write this command with the shell function, I would write it in terminal as followsSu - myUsr Password: And another command. Now the question is that every line above is a different entry If I put Put shell("su - myUsr") in the message box this is the result "Password's: Sorry" And also if I understand correctly every command with the shell function is a different terminal and does not correspond to the previous shell reply, is that true? If so how do I write that every command should correspond to the previously respond?
You have to construct the shell commands as a single string and do it all at once. Here's an example of how to use sudo to set the system clock, but just put whatever you want after the "-S". put "#!/bin/sh" & cr into tScript put "pw=" & quote & tPass & quote & cr after tScript put "echo $pw | sudo -S date " & tDate & tTime & cr after tScript -- build the command lines, the command you need to run goes after the -S put shell(tScript) into tCheck -- do the command & get the result You have to quote your admin password, but you can ask for that when running the script, or store it in a custom property.
