If you want to execute a command with root privileges, you normally use the command "sudo". But of course you can execute a command also as any other user. E.g. I need to execute some script for my backup as user "backuppc". then I just type:
sudo -u backuppc /usr/local/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_serverMesg status info
Instead of the username (backuppc) one can also use the user id (uid).
The new window that fails to be displayed, contains (when run natievly under W2K) the following text (and radio buttons for the four different file types):
Select File Type
Contruct (Ctrl-C)
Illustration (Ctrl-I)
List (Ctrl-L)
Gel (Ctrl-G)
New File Name
OK
Cancel
The text associated with the different radio buttons appears first in the debug file in the following lines (as determined by the command "grep -n "List" all_output > List_output", etc):
