Re: How to 'su' to root from a script using Xdialog?

[Anibal J. Avelar]

You could use 'sux', but you need to install that program. Or you can do this: /bin/su - $USER -c command With this you will avoid $DISPLAY problems. regards.

E.g. if you "ssh -X" to the target and run sux there, it won't work. Ben -- A.
