Besides, i'll loose nothing but time, if i break it someday.
But any further suggestment will be appreciated, thanks.
Ok. I assume that you have a user setup. All you have to do is run: 'sux <user> -c "<command>"' or under KDE: 'kdesu -l <user> <command>' On the login as root issue, when I started using Linux in 1993 I always logged in as root. "I know what I'm doing," I thought. As time went on and I became more comfortable, I realised that it was a bad thing. I was *too* comfortable with it and was more inclined to hit the enter key without thinking. For a specific story involving Linus himself, I will quote from http://liw.iki.fi/liw/texts/linux-anecdotes.html : "At one point, Linus had implemented device files in /dev, and wanted to dial up the university computer and debug his terminal emulation code again. So he starts his terminal emulator program and tells it to use /dev/hda. That should have been /dev/ttyS1. Oops. Now his master boot record started with "ATDT" and the university modem pool phone number. I think he implemented permission checking the following day." - -- James Oakley Engineering - SolutionInc Ltd. joakley@solutioninc.com http://www.solutioninc.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+u5+U+FOexA3koIgRApeKAKC10Q0Hvrn+U5a8Bgxf/cNptAa++wCgktzt o28+A1sjCrlEejMru5egYJU= =f3y0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
