I don't know if you'll have enough time before it reboots, though. how can i gain root-privileges in the gpe-filemanager? if i try to overwrite the existing one, i get an error telling me that i don't have sufficient privileges. it won't reboot, the lifeguard-reboot is disabled. > Anyway, I think maemo's bash is not in /bin/bash but in (i think) /usr/bin/bash or something. i'm not sure, but it worked with 'su user2' thanks for your replies, i'll try marius' idea tomorrow. kind regards, patric
