Trying to create a script to run as root, permission denied
Hello all, I am trying to create a script or a .command file that will run for me and my other techs on many, many Mac OSX computers that will add a file to the /etc/ folder called /etc/launchd.conf
Every time I try to run the script, I get "Permission Denied" when trying to put the file into the /etc/ directory.
The reason for this script is we will need to deploy this script quickly across many Macs, and it will only be run by myself or other admins. We just want to make it easier for us so we do not have to manually go to the /etc/ folder and create the launchd.conf file each time. I dont mind having to type in the root password at launch of this script, but I would prefer to not have to type in the root password each time...i would love it if this could be completely autonomous.
here are the two versions of code that I have tried so far, based on help from other Google inquiries:
and this:
Does anyone know how I can create this script for us to run?
Thank you very much.

CLEANALLRUV.PL(8) System Manager's Manual CLEANALLRUV.PL(8)NAME
cleanallruv.pl - Directory Server perl script for issuing a cleanAllRUV task
SYNOPSIS
cleanallruv.pl [-v] [-Z serverID] [-D rootdn] { -w password | -w - | -j filename } -b basedn -r rid [-A] [-P protocol] [-h]
DESCRIPTION
Creates and adds a cleanAllRUV task to the Directory Server
OPTIONS
A summary of options is included below:
-Z Server Identifier
The server ID of the Directory Server instance. If there is only one instance on the system, this option can be skipped.
-D Root DN
The Directory Manager DN, or root DN. If not specified, the script will search the server instance configuration for the value.
-w password
The rootdn password.
-w -
Prompt for the rootdn password.
-j password filename
The name of the file that contains the root DN password.
-b basedn
The replicated suffix that needs to be cleaned.
-r rid
The replica ID that needs to be removed.
-P Protocol
The connection protocol to connect to the Directory Server. Protocols are STARTTLS, LDAPS, LDAPI, and LDAP. If this option is
skipped, the most secure protocol that is available is used. For LDAPI, AUTOBIND is also available for the root user.
-A
Abort a cleanAllRUV task that is currently running.
-v

-h
Display usage
EXAMPLE
cleanallruv.pl -Z instance1 -D 'cn=directory manager' -j /tmp/pw.txt -b 'dc=example,dc=com' -r 87 -P STARTTLS
Note: security must be enabled to use protocol STARTTLS. If STARTTLS is not available it will default to next strongest/available
protocol automatically.
cleanallruv.pl -j /export/rootdnpw.txt -b 'dc=example,dc=com' -A -r 87
DIAGNOSTICS
Exit status is zero if no errors occur. Errors result in a non-zero exit status and a diagnostic message being written to standard error.
