Hi, i been looking around the internet and don't know what it is called wondered if anybody can give me advice on where to go tutorial or anything be grateful.

1. I have a menu on my Ubuntu as shown below




2. Now I want this program to automatically run in terminal by the menu, but when run it it doesn't load the program and don't understand why not, if can link to any tutorial or anything thanks

The command should look like this:

gnome-terminal -x sudo chkrootkit

..there is no need to spesify the full path.

shouln't there be
gksudo instead of regular sudo in that command?

the difference is that gksudo asks password graphically in a window, while sudo asks it in terminal (if terminal happens to be visible)

chkrootkit is a shell script so sudo is fine.
