[Gambas-user] run project as root

[Jussi Lahtinen]

I tried:

 sFile = Temp$()
 Desktop.RunAsRoot("whoami > " & sFile)

 Do
   Wait 0.1
 Loop Until Exist(sFile)

 fl = Open sFile For Read Watch

But I can only get:
Try `whoami --help' for more information.

Same command works in terminal:
whoami > /tmp/gambas.1000/2413/6.tmp


So, I'm not sure what is going on... I will look this closer later, when I
have more time.
