LAN Administration - Reset

[Mauro_3]

I have a problem, sometimes I have to reset the lan interface using lanadmin as root, but I want to do a script and run it as another user that do not have the same rights as root. Once more problem is the lanadmin command is a interactive command and there is not a option like lanadmin -r to reset the lan interface and self-test, so I?m lost... if someone has a advice I would like it. Bye

Hi there.
lanadmin can be run in menu mode or in immediate mode. Pls check the manpages.
Your commd should look like this :
lanadmin PPA 3 -a reset or so.
I do not exactly know how.

I would do something like this:

#!/usr/bin/sh
lanadmin << EOF
lan
reset
quit
EOF

Hi

I think that you can't reset lan interface
without being root, but you can use sudo to do
that : http://www.courtesan.com/sudo/ . With
sudo you can get root rigths for some commands.

Think that Patrick gave you the way to use
interactive mode in a script... But for some
commands (display for example) you need to
insert some "return" like if you were in
interactive mode.
