Run a C++ program in Clion as root

Question

I\'m trying to run a program written in C++ by using CLion v1.2 as super user. Anyone here knows how to run it as superuser? I\'m using CMake.

You can create a bash script to help you. For example, run.sh:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
echo $LOGIN_PASSWD | sudo -S yourExecutable --with=some-arguments

Don't forget to chmod a+x run.sh, and export the password of current account as an environment variable in Run/Debug Configurations.
