How to do this?
I would like to run a script with root rights from an application.
The password should be transferred automatically.
As far as I know, this cannot be done except by making the application itself
setuid root.
If you create a setuid script, it will nevertheless execute with the rights of
the invoking user.
I use a very small program which is setuid root, which I supply with the name of a script and the
arguments to feed to the script. The name of the script must match one of a list.
