Hi,
I am running an shell script(owner - name1) which calls an executable (owner -root)during run time.The permissions of exe are -r-x------ and it cannot be changed.Also it can be run only as root.When I run the script I am getting an error saying that "You must be ROOT user in order to modify this file".
Problem: How can I run an executable which has permission to run as ROOT only by some other name through a shell script ?
