    [SOLVED] Running an application on the menu with root privileges

    I need to run zenmap with root privileges in order to have access to all the features in the program, so how can I add that to my menu where it asks for the password, or even where it doesn't?

    Thanks for the help!

    If someone asks you to sudo rm -rf anything don't do it.

    You can click on the panel then "Add to panel" and then "Custom Application Launcher". Then specify the command to be something like "sudo zenmap" or "gksudo zenmap" depending on whether it is a command line or a GUI application.
