I'm not sure if I understand your problem correctly. # starts a comment in shell, and $ denotes (among others maybe) a variable name. In that sense #+begin_src bash $ls #+end_src delivers the value of the variable ls. The semantic of $ is not to execute the command ls as a non-root user. Same goes for #. If you want to put your own semantics into $ and # it might be better to not use a bash code block. If you want to note that some commands in a script needs root privilege, maybe something like this would do the trick: #+begin_src bash ls su - -c 'fdisk /dev/rdsk/c0d1/p0' emacs& #+end_src Regards hmw
