I still think just setuid'ing the file is the cleanest/most straightforward way to do it, but that's just my opinion.

On top, to make life more easier and thats what I did in my n810 but haven't tried it in n900 as I don't own it yet (but for different purpose), you can, according to this, create a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications/hildon and this will create an icon in the main menu which you can just click and get the job done. Easy

Sorry, here's what you do:
1. Open up xterm.
2. In xterm type: vi powerlevel.sh
3. Press "i" key it will activate "Insert" mode.
4. Type as it is there (every line is a new line so there is enter after every line however, you don't press space in the front).
5. After you have finished typing everything, press the esc key and then ":" followed by "wq" (without double quotes) and hit enter.
6. It will save your file as powerlevel.sh in the same directory you are currently working.
7. Again in the xterm type: chmod +x powerlevel.sh
8. To execute: ./powerlevel.sh
That's it.
I've done this and the file saved fine, i checked the contents with cat powerlevel.sh and it was correct, however when running it it doesn't change the powerlevel, any idea why? it looks fine to me and i did the chmod to, a message saying root enabled comes up when i run the file as user so it looks like its calling the correct file.
On a side note when following your instructions i had to type sudo gainroot to run the commands, would this have caused a problem?

Hope you are pointing to the right place.

Permission denied usually means the executable bit is not set [you seemed to have taken care of that] or the underlying File System has noexec enabled, or it is a FAT or other weird FS.
Try
Try
Code:
sh oc.sh
I saw the sudoers.d dir but didn't get back to looking in there. I'll give it a peek.
Thanks.
