I need to have a script that can do an automated IPL function (how to reboot the box). I think ‘reboot’ would do the trick.

However, how would I go about doing it, for example if the user states from a menu script that I would like to reboot now. The problem is when I do the ‘reboot’ command I get a message (obviously) because I am not the super user. But I do have another gem network in which I have root superuser access.

So how would I from the below script which I need to write whilst I am not in super user mode do the ‘reboot’ command from the normal user mode. Is there a way of having, for example when the user chooses option 1, then it states enter the other gem network root username and password (so i am the superuser) and then be able to do the ‘reboot’ command?

I hope I have not made it difficult to understand for you.

......Code carries on for the other 3 options
