Hi All,
I've created a nice little script on my BackTrack laptop. I put an icon to
launch the script on the desktop, but I'm having two odd problems:
1. when I double click the icon the script I'm asked if I want to "Run in
Terminal" or just run. Either one I pick the script never appears on the
screen.
2. Second, I need to ensure the script runs as the super user.
I really should know how to do this after using Linux for so long, but
it's one of those things that's just proving frustrating.
Generally scripts need to run in terminal.
Sudo requires an active tty port. It has security measures so that it
can't run inside of a script.
You have to comment out this in /etc/sudoers:
Defaults requiretty
