Re: [Help-bash] Regarding sudo

[Bipul kumar]

Hi Gerg,

Thank you for making me correct.
Between still i need for clarification about this statement "*Use it for
the*

*part(s) of the script that require different privileges, and don't use it**for
the parts that should run with the caller's privileges*."

I tried with sudo -u $USER , but my script opens a  new console with $USER
account.
