starting a program to run as root from link

[Icculus]

hey i was just wondering , is there a way to make a shortcut to a program run in root ?

ok let me explain a lil .. in drake 8.1 they remove XWC whcih was a very basic file explorer but you could run it as root from a terminal and it would let you go to any folder and file and do what you want with it.


well its gone , but .. i found you can do this with konqueror

you open the console , log in to root and bring it up through there , then you have no restrictions on what you can manipulate.

well login into root and starting konqueror gets old after the 100th time , so im wondering .. is there a simpler way ? thnx in advance for the input back :)

hmm....

man sudo maybe?

or maybe a link to a bash script that does su, then fills in the password then starts konq?

in my KDE menu, I have a link to File Manager (super user mode) under System

it runs the command "kdesu konqueror" if ya click on it it asks for the password and offers to remember it

hope some of this helped
