Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Trying to create a script to run as root, permission denied Post 302793577 by DonnieNarco on Friday 12th of April 2013 03:22:17 PM

Haha, sorry I am not trying to be a hacker.
I ended up finding out what I need to make this work. It's not perfect by any means, but it gets the job done for what I am looking for. If anyone knows how to put these two scripts into one, that I could just double click on when I copy it to the desktop of any computer, that would be awesome, otherwise I think I am good to go.

First script logs me in as root, and then calls the second script to run.

ClickMe.command
Code:
#!/bin/bash
clear;
sudo Desktop/ifs/IFS_Perm.command

IFS_Perm.command
Code:
#!/bin/bash

clear ; echo This script will put a system configuration file into your Mac OSX that will assist with UNIX permissions on the IFS
sleep 2
clear ; 
echo Moving Working Directory to the System Directory
cd /etc/
sleep 2
echo Creating a new file with correct permissions, please have system root password ready...
sleep 3
sudo cat <<EOF >> launchd.conf
umask 000
EOF
echo Process has completed, thank you. 
sleep 3
killall Terminal

exit 0

Thanks all for your help, and thank you DGPickett for your lenghty, informative information!

systemd-hybrid-sleep.service

SYSTEMD-SUSPEND.SERVICE(8)				      systemd-suspend.service					SYSTEMD-SUSPEND.SERVICE(8)

NAME

       systemd-suspend.service, systemd-hibernate.service, systemd-hybrid-sleep.service, systemd-sleep - System sleep state logic

SYNOPSIS

       systemd-suspend.service

       systemd-hibernate.service

       systemd-hybrid-sleep.service

       /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sleep

DESCRIPTION

       systemd-suspend.service is a system service that is pulled in by suspend.target and is responsible for the actual system suspend.
       Similarly, systemd-hibernate.service is pulled in by hibernate.target to execute the actual hibernation. Finally,
       systemd-hybrid-sleep.service is pulled in by hybrid-sleep.target to execute hybrid hibernation with system suspend.

       Immediately before entering system suspend and/or hibernation systemd-suspend.service (and the other mentioned units, respectively) will
       run all executables in /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/ and pass two arguments to them. The first argument will be "pre", the second either
       "suspend", "hibernate", or "hybrid-sleep" depending on the chosen action. Immediately after leaving system suspend and/or hibernation the
       same executables are run, but the first argument is now "post". All executables in this directory are executed in parallel, and execution
       of the action is not continued until all executables have finished.

       Note that scripts or binaries dropped in /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/ are intended for local use only and should be considered hacks. If
       applications want to be notified of system suspend/hibernation and resume, there are much nicer interfaces available.

       Note that systemd-suspend.service, systemd-hibernate.service, and systemd-hybrid-sleep.service should never be executed directly. Instead,
       trigger system sleep states with a command such as "systemctl suspend" or similar.

       Internally, this service will echo a string like "mem" into /sys/power/state, to trigger the actual system suspend. What exactly is written
       where can be configured in the "[Sleep]" section of /etc/systemd/sleep.conf. See systemd-sleep.conf(5).

OPTIONS

       systemd-sleep understands the following commands:

       -h, --help
	   Print a short help text and exit.

       --version
	   Print the systemd version identifier and exit.

       suspend, hibernate, hybrid-sleep
	   Suspend, hibernate, or put the system to hybrid sleep.
