How do i run bash script as root? Or login as root on the script using either sudo or su? Which is better/easier? I need to run the command avggui as root.
Thanks for any help
su would be better

right i have the script:
su
password
.//opt/grisoft/avggui/bin/avggui
is this right? because it doesnt run when i click the icon. or when i use the command ./AVG_Antivirus.sh(thats the filename) wherever the file is situated.
is there a way to run the commands as root without using a terminal? could i run the file as root?

right-click on desktop, create launcher, put command in ‘Command’ field,
eat chocolate chip cookies and/or ice cream without caramel,
double-click on new icon, enter password, enjoy.
Good luck.
