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
