Hi thanks for your reply, it doesnt work im afraid, the problem is i dont want it to run another script, i just want it to carry on with the same script,
below is a example of the script , what i would like is for the script to ask for root password if not in root and then carry on once the root password has been entered, im sure there must be a way.
Quote:
#!/bin/bash
typeset -r YUM="`which yum`"
typeset -r RPM="`which rpm`"
if [ $(whoami) != "root" ] ; then
echo sorry, you must be root to run this script >&2
exit 1
fi
$YUM -y install libXp compat-libstdc++-33 compat-libstdc++-296 wget
wget http://www.frostwire.com/download/?os=redhat
$RPM -Uvh --nodeps frostwire*.rpm
rm -f frostwire*.rpm
