Script to use "su" instead of "sudo"

[s243a]

I wrote a script to use su instead of sudo:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
cmd=""
function quote(){
  echo $1 | sed "s/'/'\"'\"'/g"
}
for arg in "$@"; do
  cmd="$cmd '$(quote "$arg")'"
done
su -c "$cmd" root

Testing the script:

Code: Select all

# bash su_sudo echo "a'b'c"
a'b'c

My idea here is in the winetricks script to use my "su_sudo" script if the sudo command can't be found. See post

I'll let everyone know if it works with wintricks. So we have in the wintricks script (around line 3169 in the version found in fatdog64 gsplat "wine 4.19-i686-1"):

Code: Select all

winetricks_detect_sudo()
{
    WINETRICKS_SUDO=sudo
    [ -z "$(which sudo)" ] && WINETRICKS_SUDO=su_sudo

The above script worked with winetricks. For further improvement, I think I should first replace "\" by "\\" before escaping the single quotes.
