How did you try it? If you wrote it in a file and then launched it
get sure to put in the first line
#! /usr/bin/bash
and to change permission of the file (it has to be executable at least
by you).
I'm trying this script and it works both as a script launched from
gnome-terminal and when it's called by a gnome-panel launcher:
#! /bin/bash
# this forces the password typing, even in the case the sudo timeout has
# not yet expired
sudo -k
zenity --entry --title="Browse files as root" --text="Enter your password:" --hide-text \
| sudo -S nautilus --no-desktop --browser 1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null
if [ "$?" != 0 ]; then
zenity --error --text="Sorry, bad password"
return 1

Anything you want to do with them ;-). If you don't like this output
you can simply send it to /dev/null (as in the above script). sudo
prints the "password:" prompt on stderr (file descriptor number 2),
nautilus writes on both stderr and stdin (file descriptor number
1). If you are running the script through a launcher the output will
be happily ignored.
