su-to-root

su-to-root(1)						      Debian GNU/Linux manual						     su-to-root(1)

NAME

       su-to-root - A simple script to give an `interactive' front-end to su.  It can be used in menu entry commands to ask for the root password

SYNOPSIS

       su-to-root [-X] [-p <user>] -c <command>

DESCRIPTION

       Most  menu  entries  simply  start an editor or a game or whatever. But some menu entries would like to give the user the ability to change
       important settings in the system, that require root privileges.	su-to-root can be used to ask for the root password.

OPTIONS

       -c <command>
	      The command to execute as a string. This option is mandatory.

       -p <user>
	      The name of the user to change to, instead of root.

       -X     The command is a X11 program that does not require a terminal.  This is to be used with menu entries that declare needs="X11".

ENVIRONMENT

       SU_TO_ROOT_X
	      Select the su-like program called by su-to-root -X.  Supported values are gksu, kdesu, kde4su, ktsuss,
	       sux, gksudo and kdesudo.  kde4su denotes the KDE4 version of kdesu.

	      When this variable is not set su-to-root will currently try to use gksu, kdesu, kde4su, ktsuss, sux and the built-in code,  in  that
	      order with the exception that under a KDE session, kdesu and kde4su are prefered over gksu.

	      The exact set of programs to try and their order is subject to change without notice.

       SU_TO_ROOT_SU
	      Select the su-like program used in text mode.  Supported values are sudo, sux and su, the later being the default.

FILES

       /etc/su-to-rootrc

       ~/.su-to-rootrc
	      su-to-root will source these files at startup in this order. This lets you define and modify the environment variables above without
	      restarting your X session.

COPYING

       su-to-root is distributed under the GNU General Public License.	(GPL 2.0 or greater).
