hmmm,
I was thinking about something like this:
---------------------->><<---------------------------
#!/bin/bash
function wait
{
echo "press any key to continue..."
read ANYKEY
}
if ! [ -x "$1" ]; then
echo "Error! $1 is not an executable file!"
wait
exit 1
fi
if [ -z "$2" ]; then
msg="I'm about to run $1, type the arguments you want to pass to it:"
else
msg="$2"
fi
echo "$msg"
read args
exec $1 $args
---------------------->><<---------------------------
you pass the command you wish to run (with no args...) and
the message you want to send to the user, ex:
run-with-args /bin/ls "what arguments you want to pass to ls?"
I think I'll implement a way to pass default arguments, would that
be needed?
I think a script like this (or this one) should be added to
the menu package, what you all think?
by the way I think su-to-root should call su with the full path..
should I file a wishlist bug? that seems a security hole...
[]s!
