[CS-FSLUG] SHELP!!!

[Tim Young]

The problem is actually on the command-line itself.

konsole -e   sudo /sbin/ifdown eth0; /sbin/ifup eth0&

Bash reads the command from left to right.

konsole -e sudo /sbin/ifdown eth0

When it gets to the ; it says, "this comand has ended" and it sends the 
command to the xterm.  Then it runs /sbin/ifup in the background.

The next problem is that sudo only accepts one command at a time.  You will 
either need to bake a bash script that groups them al together or:

konsole -e sudo bash -c "/sbin/ifdown eth0 ; ifup eth0"

Of course, allowing someone to have permission to sudo a bash shell is 
basically allowing them to have root access.  :)

The better way is to have a bash script that runs that you can give them 
sudo access to.
