[Gambas-user] Delete a file requiring Admin privilege

[John Rose]

Apologies. I missed out the gksudo in my last message:

The following works OK:
    sPath = "/home/john/Temp orary/q w.desktop"
    sLogPath = "/home/john/Temporary/Log.txt"
    Wait 1
    sCommand = "gksudo " & "desktop-file-install " & " " &
               Shell$(sPath) &
               " >/dev/null 2>" & Shell$(sLogPath)
    hProcess = Shell sCommand
    Do
      Wait 0.1
    Loop Until hProcess.State <> Process.Running

But the following comes back with the help lines for gksudo i.e. where
it does not understand the rest:
    sPath = "/home/john/Temp orary/q.desktop"
    Exec ["gksudo", "desktop-file-install", sPath] Wait
PS If I change sPath to not have a space in the directory (e.g. using
Temporary) but having a space in the filename (e.g. q w.desktop) then I
get the same.
