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.
