Hi,

I have a shell script A which runs as non-root. From this script (A) I am need to launch script B which must run as root, while continuing running script A without waiting script B to finish (in other words, I am need to spawn script B from script A in separate process).

Anuone can suggest me how to do it?

Adding an ampersand (&) at the end of a command launches it as another process. You should probably use 'sudo' to give it root privileges. HTH... -- David Smith Work Email: Dave.Smith@st.com STMicroelectronics Home Email: David.Smith@ds-electronics.co.uk Bristol, England GPG Key: 0xF13192F2
