sometimes i don't pay attention at the status of the console(if it's root or not) and i run eclipse as root...
how do i prevent it running when i'm root
| Code: | # eclipse-3.3
!!! You are running Eclipse as root. Be advised that this will modify the contents of
!!! /usr/lib/eclipse-3.3, and that such a modification may prevent you from safely
!!! upgrading to later 3.3 revisions.
!!! To ensure correct behavior on your next upgrade, do:
!!! 1) 'emerge unmerge "=eclipse-sdk-3.3"'
!!! 2) 'rm -rf /usr/lib/eclipse-3.3'
!!! 3) 'emerge eclipse-sdk'

one easy possibility is to put something earlier in root's path that will run some other program named the same thing, possibly in /sbin, or even easier, just create an alias to run 'echo' instead.
I had to do this for 'shutdown' ... I've shut down the incorrect machine multiple times, forces me to check carefully before shutting a machine down.

The only thing I can think of is to set an alias in root's .bashrc - if this has the same name as the application then it'll get run in preference.

You could chmod it as suid I guess. That'll mean anyone can edit anything using kwrite though. |
