    How to password protect a script

    I have some scripts that might be messy if not handled correctly, is there any variation of the
    Code:
    chmod
    command that'll only allow access with a root password?

    Set it to only be executable by root. Perhaps make it writabele by a group your in so you don't have to always sudo to edit it.

    Code:
    sudo chown root:sudo /myscript
    sudo chmod u=rwx,g=rw,o-rwx /myscript
    some variation on that.
