    Hi folks, i've been following the how-tos in the bluetooth forum and am now happily using my phone as a 3G modem. One slight problem is, I need to be superuser to open the dialler program, which means opening the terminal and typing in 'sudo gnome-ppp'

    Now this isn't too much of a hassle, but is there a way I could put this into a script, so I could make an icon on the desktop shortcut to it, without needing to type in my su password each time?

    I don't want the command to run at bootup because at home I use wifi rather than 3G and don't want the window popping up when not needed.

    Thanks
    Jon

    Sorry guys I have reposted this in the beginners forum as it's probably more appropriate. Maybe a mod could delete this thread?

    thanks
