Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Trying to create a script to run as root, permission denied Post 302793087 by DonnieNarco on Thursday 11th of April 2013 04:40:56 PM

How would we create the symbolic link? Wouldn't there have to be permissions to put that link in the /etc/directory?

I'm very new to UNIX, so I dont know hardly anything. Most of that code I put in my first post was found off of Google.

---------- Post updated at 01:40 PM ---------- Previous update was at 01:22 PM ----------

I just tried that, and I still got the "Permission Denied" when trying to put the link into the /etc/launchd.conf

Code:
#!/bin/bash

echo Moving Directories

cd /Users/jlemme2/Desktop

sudo cat <<EOF >> launchd.conf
umask 000
EOF

ln -s /Users/jlemme2/Desktop/launchd.conf /etc/launchd.conf

echo Process Completed

Any other ideas?
