Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Trying to create a script to run as root, permission denied Post 302793101 by hanson44 on Thursday 11th of April 2013 04:59:55 PM

Don't put the ln command in the shell script. It doesn't work in the shell script because of the same permissions problem.

The ln command only needs to be run once, as root, outside the shell script:
Code:
# ln -s /Users/jlemme2/Desktop/launchd.conf /etc/launchd.conf

Then, whenever you want, run the script to create /Users/jlemme2/Desktop/launchd.conf which you have write permission to create.
