Read my other followup... You're better doing: su root -c 'route add ...' Since you're already running with EUID == 0 in the scripts, you should be able to `su' without a password, in order to execute the route command. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
