What I had in mind was a (menu-like)(shell) wrapper-script in /usr/bin that calls the corresponding script (bootstrap-latest or upgrade_db). Karsten told me that if you run as root in a standard debian the script can bootstrap without any passowords because it will do the sudo magic itself. What I had in mind was that when a user invokes the wrapper script he will be prompted for the root password (sudo).
In contrast to Ubuntu (at least I guess Ubuntu does so) Debian does not permit any user sudo rights. So you will have to teach the user to configure sudo first before this might work. I guess you mean something like gksu or things like this which asks for root password. I admit I never dealt with such stuff but I might have a look into this. On the other hand I'm not fully convinced that providing a menu item (amongst a lot of menu stuff) is better than providing a well written /usr/share/doc/gnuemd-server/README.Debian. But perhaps I'm too text centric ... Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de
