Thanks, Mika.

As always, you come through with a simple and elegant answer to my blithering.

Very best wishes,

Just allow your user to execute everything via sudo, run 'visudo'
and add a line containing something like:

 martin ALL=(ALL) ALL

where 'martin' corresponds to your username. Now running "sudo $CMD"
should work for all commands.
