hi again,
Let me clarify what I am doing and what is my approach till
now.

If you would elaborate a little, like what you really want to do, you might
get responses directing you toward a quicker solution. That aside, if you
want to execute a command line application as root from your External Method
look at Paramiko as mentioned in my response to the previous

I did understand this *BUT* you do not have a choice.
While a single ExternalMethod runs as root, the complete
Zope process runs as root -- and this applies
Hi Dieter,
I dont have a need to run all the external method as root, only
some of them. For this what I was thinking was to introduce a new control
apart from the regular ones. viz
id , title , Module Name and Function Name by name of 'Run as root', it
would probably be a

You seem to be carefully ignoring the fact that Dieter is pointing out
that this isn't possible ;-)

Hi Rishi.
Can you telll me where should I look in the source(Code segment where
external methods are loaded and executed)
External methods are not just 'called' or 'loaded', they are executed in
a zope thread which belong to the zope user. Changing the effective user
would be a complex and

Apparently, my previous message has not been clear enough.
Let's try
There is a requirement for running some external methods as super user.
For this I thought of adding a new parameter.If set the code would be
executed with effective uid of root.
Can some one point to the code section where zope loads the ExternalMethod
codes for execution.

This is extremely dangerous.
To run code as super user, you need to
