[Member kouroukinos77]

Hi I try to write an bash executable script for launch two command, but I need sudo to execute :

#!/bin/bash

sudo modprobe snd_pcm_oss snd_mixer oss
exec zsnes

In command line it work, he said me enter the password for root…
But in thunar or pcmanfm I don’t have the message for enter root password, and the modprobe don’t work, and I don’t have sound in zsnes, I’m try when I click on this script to launche zsnes with that command “modprobe” … but how to do that ? Thank you for the help !

If you want to run it not from terminal, try to open terminal (e.g. roxterm, lxterminal) and execute the command (-e) of your script.
This will always open pop-up window

#!/bin/bash
roxterm -e "<command from your script> && exit 0"

The && exit 0 ensures the pop-up terminal closes if the execution has been successful but it stays open if any problems encountered.
This is useful for debugging.

Change this, following sybok’s advice:

#!/bin/bash

x-terminal-emulator -e "sudo modprobe snd_pcm_oss snd_mixer oss && exit 0"

Ah, I forgot to/didn’t put the zsnes after the && exit 0.
Thanks for correcting, Xecure.

Oh ok ! so,

on Icewm, I need to create on my Desktop, a short icon, for launch that… Or in the Icewm menu, but I don’t know how to do that. It’s same for my HMA cli Launcher (VPN), and Icecat. Thank you !

oh sorry, I solved this problem like this :

In my .icewm menu , I add this line :

prog HMA ! bash /home/pikaburk/hma-vpn.sh /home/pikaburk/hma-vpn.sh /home/pikaburk/hma-vpn.sh
prog Icecat ! bash /home/pikaburk/icecat.bash /home/pikaburk/icecat.bash /home/pikaburk/icecat.bash

(just for add apulse for icecat and the sound, and hma-vpn launch in roxterm), but the command for launch directly hma with london vpn server don’t work (the sudo hma-linux/hma-openvpn.sh -p udp London with the bash script that I download on the official website); but it’s not a problem and the subject) and I create a ticket for that on hma website. Thank you !

and with your bash learning, It work good now. Thank for the studies.
