    Application Launcher for Program that has to be run as root

    I'm running F14

    I'm trying to start an application with a launcher that has to be started from root in the teminal. If I do su - in the terminal and then enter my root password and then enter the full path to the application it starts up fine.

    If I try: su - fullpath
    su-c fullpath
    beesu fullpath
    beesu - fullpath

    I get prompted for my root password but the program doesn't start.

    Can be done via sudo
    Code:
    man sudo
    You must always face the curtain with a bow.

    I added my user name, etc to sudoers file unter root and changed to sudo path in the application launcher.

    I get prompted for my password which I enter but the program still doesn't start
