Also, have you figured out how to run a PureBasic app as SU? I mean prompt for the SUDO password like when you start Synaptic and then continue to run the app as SU?

I have played around a little with sudo for this but was unsuccessful. I think that would make it almost perfect. I plan to give it another try this afternoon. Thanks for taking a look at it for me.

If you're using Gnome, you can use I think gtksudo, which allows you
pass your info to a gnome dialog which will ask for the user and pass, and
then pass it on to sudo.

I believe KDE has a similar program too, probably named qtsudo ksudo or
kdesudo.

Be sure to read the docs on it though, as I can't verify anything since I
don't have a Linux box running at this time.

PB is the best program ever... sigh

I found 'gnome-sudo', which is installed with Ubuntu by default, and it works perfectly. Just create a custom application launcher and make the command "gnome-sudo hamachi-client".

Thanks for the hint garretthylltun!

sweet!
