The easiest way is probably a couple of scripts. If your current script is callvv.run, then you could probably write something like:
!#/bin/bash
su  - root -c callvv.run

in another file with the necessary permissions, e.g. rootvv .

Then, when you run rootvv, it would prompt for pass and start callvv.run.

I have written a small bash script which starts one of my programs (ViaVoice); in order for it to run properly, I have to be in supervisor mode, i.e. run "su" and "password" ; my question: is there any way to write that into the script itself? Thanks
