gksu

GKSU(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   GKSU(1)

NAME

       gksu - a Gtk+ su frontend

SYNOPSIS

       gksu [ options ] <command>
       gksudo [ options ] <command>

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly gksu and gksudo

       gksu  is  a frontend to su and gksudo is a frontend to sudo.  Their primary purpose is to run graphical commands that need root without the
       need to run an X terminal emulator and using su directly.

OPTIONS

       These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with  two  dashes  (`-').   A  summary  of  options	is
       included below.

   Common Options:
       --user <user>, -u <user>

	      Calls <command> as the specified user

       --message <message>, -m <message>

	      Replaces the standard message shown to ask for password for the argument passed to the option

       --sudo-mode, -S

	      Use  sudo  instead  of  su as backend authentication system. Notice that the X authorization magic will not work when using sudo for
	      target users other than root.

       --title <title>, -t <title>

	      Replaces the default title with the argument

       --icon <icon>, -i <icon>

	      Replaces the default window icon with the argument

       --print-pass, -p

	      Asks gksu to print the password to stdout, just like ssh-askpass. Useful to use in scripts with programs that accept  receiving  the
	      password on stdin.

       --disable-grab, -g

	      Disables the "locking" of the keyboard, mouse, and focus done by the program when asking for password

       --ssh-fwd, -s

	      Strip the host part of the $DISPLAY variable, so that GKSu will work on SSH X11 Forwarding.

       --login, -l

	      Makes  this a login shell. Beware this may cause problems with the Xauthority magic. Run xhost to allow the target user to open win-
	      dows on your display! This is ignored if running with sudo as backend for authentication.

       --preserve-env, -k

	      Preserve the current environments, does not set $HOME nor $PATH, for example.

FILES

       /etc/gksu.conf
	      Configuration file to setup system-wide defaults for gksu/gksudo.  It provides an option to force the display grabing, also.

RETURN VALUE

       On success, gksu will return 0. If an authentication error ocurred, it will exit with error code 3. If the  user  canceled  the	dialog	or
       closed the window, it will return error code 2. On other error conditions, gksu will return 1.

NOTE

       Note that <command> and all its arguments should be passed as one single argument to gksu just like one would to when using su.

       su(1), gksuexec(1).
