How can I run command with super user privledge
Hello All,

I am working on UNIX like environment. This environment is ported from UNIX. Here when we need to build product set, we need to run some script with super user privledge (which we normal user dont have)

Is there any way (some C program or some script) through which any normal user can run those commands with super user.

Thanks in advance

Using sudo command you can achieve this.
Generally this command is used to run a given command with a given user's privilege.
Using the -u option you need to specify the root user name or his user id.
Now it will invoke all the root privilege.

Thanks
