B4J Question [Solved] Run app with admin rights

[aeric]

How do I run a GUI app in Ubuntu linux with sudo and do no prompt the user to enter password?
I have run.command in application directory and myapp.desktop on desktop but I don't know how to make it run with admin rights.
When I double click myapp.desktop it runs but no admin rights. Without admin rights, my app cannot work with serial ports.

"Startup script with sudo in Ubuntu".

Please, try to translate "sudo" from italian and think that today is August, 9.

I hate to think what "grep" may mean in some languages.

Doing sudo without password seems to be a sledgehammer approach to your issue. I would first try to give the user rights to the serial port(s), see https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/serial-in-linux.84714/post-536563 . Note: You may need to research the proper group to add the user to for your distro.

If you do want to use sudo w/o password (which I really do not recommend), see the following link for direction https://askubuntu.com/questions/192050/how-to-run-sudo-command-with-no-password

You mean I am sweating ? ?

"grep" may mean in some languages.

What language? Let me try Google translate.

Sounds like Volapük to me.

Yes, I tried that. It is part of the solution. I am now doing more testing such as using different script in different path.

Yes - "sudo" perché è Agosto (it's August) ?

I don’t get you. Is it summer in August?

We sweat in August.

Hot and rain in my country all year. So we don’t only sweat in August. ?
