Full Discussion: Running script through SSH as root

Unfortunately I already tried this, and at least with one utility (ioscan on HP-UX), adding the group the utility was in did not help, and adding the group assigned to the block device it was trying to read from also did nothing. In fact, documentation I found for ioscan stated it had to be run as root. (I realize this is getting HP-UX specific at this point, but I know I had this problem with some Linux commands as well -- I believe that lshal can only be run as root per it's documentation)

create_sysfile

create_sysfile(1M)														create_sysfile(1M)

NAME

       create_sysfile - create a kernel system file

SYNOPSIS

       [outfile]

DESCRIPTION

       The command creates a kernel configuration description file (system file) which can be used as input to the commands kconfig(1M) or mk_ker-
       nel(1M).  The system file that is generated is of type version 1 (see system(4)) and is built according to the drivers required by the cur-
       rent system hardware.  This command is intended for use during the install process when the system does not have a system file.

       The  command uses the ioscan(1M) command to scan the system hardware and adds all drivers it can identify to run the existing hardware.	If
       outfile is specified, the resulting system file is sent to outfile.  If outfile is not specified, the output is placed in the file

RETURN VALUE

       Upon completion, returns with one of the following exit values:

	      0      Successful.

	      1      One or more errors were reported.

DIAGNOSTICS

       Errors are sent to stderr.  Most of the diagnostic messages from are self-explanatory.  Errors cause to halt immediately.

WARNINGS

       is obsolete and will be removed in a future version of HP-UX.
