Hi folks.
Just wondering how I get into superuser (sudo or su) using a shell
script. I am trying to back up the following to a folder on my
desktop:
/usr/local/mysql/*
/etc/httpd/httpd.conf
/etc/httpd/users/*
Given the unique permissions on this, my shell script has to run as
superuser. I tried this:
sudo;
blah...;
I get an error in both BBEdit's feedback, and run in the Terminal,
I get this as feedback:
usage: sudo -K | -L | -V | -h | -k | -l | -v
usage: sudo [-HPSb] [-p prompt] [-u username|#uid]
{ -e file [...] | -i | -s | <command> }
Any clues?
I may not be following you entirely, but why not, for some backup
script "blah":
$ sudo blah
?
