[SOLVED] how do i delete and rename files as root?

[andrewwg94]

i want to delete: /etc/rc2.d/S19rc.local
i want to rename: /etc/rc2.d/S99rc.local to S19rc.local

S19rc.local is a file i made up and i want to delete it b/c it doesn't work.

[binbash]

sudo rm /etc/rc2.d/S19rc.local
sudo mv /etc/rc2.d/S99rc.local /etc/rc2.d/S19rc.local

from the terminal:
sudo rm /etc/rc2.d/S19rc.local
sudo mv /etc/rc2.d/S99rc.local /etc/rc2.d/S19rc.local

from the nautilus:
(use terminal)
sudo nautilus
(now nautilus)
navigate to /etc/rc2.d/ and do your stuff.


edit:binbash beat me to it...

sudo rm /etc/rc2.d/S19rc.local

sudo mv /etc/rc2.d/S99rc.local /etc/rc2.d/S19rc.local

sudo nautilus

This should be:

gksu nautilus


but they both work

[iponeverything]

open a terminal and do:

gksu nautilus

[andrewwg94]

what's the diffrence between gsuk or whatever and sudo?

[Titan8990]

gksu should be used when launching graphical programs as root.
