Seems like a lot of work just to bring up the Task Manager, but if that's what Microsoft wants, I guess that's what I gotta do.

My way is more fun, but it takes longer, obviously. I'll try your way next time I'm in a hurry to kill Sonar when some plugin makes it crash.

Sudo operates on a per-command basis. It is not a replacement for the shell. Features include: the ability to restrict what commands a user may run on aper-host basis, copious logging of each command (providing a clear audit trail of who did what), a configurable timeout of the sudo command, and the ability to use the same configuration file (sudoers) on many different machines. -- Cheers, Ben

I get that, of course. What I'm saying is that if I do "Open terminal here" from Nautilus, the terminal is opened as the user under which Nautilus is running. So if I run Nautilus normally, then do "Open terminal here", I get a terminal running as me; if I do "sudo nautilus" to get a Nautilus instance running as root, then do "Open terminal here", then I get a terminal instance running as root. It would be handy, though, if there were an option on the right-click menu to "Open terminal as root". Cheers, Martin |
