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
