It is possible, I am using this "helper" to start my "vpnc" with a GUI-Button, because I did not get a response and did not find any "recommended way to run as privileged" via Sailfis-App.

So there are 3 steps.

compile helper program
change owner to root:root
change permissions to 4755

Example (added example with 2 commands seperated by "&&"):

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main()
{
   setuid( 0 );
   system( "/usr/sbin/vpnc && /sbin/ip route add xxx.xxx.x.0/24 dev tun0);

   return 0;
}

compiled it with gcc on the phone like this:

Code:

gcc vpnc-helper.c -o vpnc-helper
devel-su
chown root:root vpnc-helper
chmod 4755 vpnc-helper

I have a question, can we do something similar to run command as USER under root? For example, the dbus command I should run as user, but I now under root.
in N9 it was simple, devel-su user -c "comnand" and it didn't ask about password.
Can we do something similar on Jolla?
thanks

Ok, found it

When you are ROOT and if you want to run command that should be run as USER, you can use this command:

Code:

su -l nemo -c "your command"
