Sorry, I haven't been following this but isn't the elif condition redundant?
not really, because what it says is:
if /usr/lib/menu is a directory and $mode is menu and i am NOT root then su to root and run this command else if i AM root then just run this command
if that elif were an else then the command would be run for example if /usr/lib/menu isn't a directory or if the mode isnt menu
Also, AFAIK although its unusual, there's no reason an account name cannot have a space in it, so `whoami` should be "`whoami`"
only reason it is `whoami` instead of "`whoami`" is because i copied it from the wineinstall script, so just for the sake of argument and not having to have someone change it in all of the scripts, i left it like that...
[spent too much time debugging strings in scripts ;^]
same here, thats why im contributing...
