gksudo is the gnome graphical sudo. But it has issues with how it woks (more
like su) and a different and incompatible command line structure.
What follows is a bash sell exert that runs a command with gui or cli sudo.
Arguments are handled incompatibly by sudo and gksudo and so can't be provided.
setup_sudo()
{
MSG="$NAME : Needs to run '$2' as root to $1."
echo "$MSG"
if which 'gksudo' > /dev/null
then
if ! gksudo '--sudo-mode' -m "$MSG" -- $2
then
echo "$NAME" ': WARNING : gksudo cancelled or failed'
fi
else
if ! sudo $2
then
echo "$NAME" ': WARNING : sudo cancelled or failed'
fi
fi
}
