Hi,
in a program, I tried to launch sudo in background using the following command :
xterm -e 'sudo -b /usr/bin/gedit'
but the gedit program is never launched.
I tried :
xterm -e 'sudo /usr/bin/gedit'
and this worked.
So I suspect a problem with the background mode...
My system : Debian Etch, xterm(225), and sudo 1.6.8p12
Thanks for your help!
Roland
