I might suggest, depending on the script, that often with 'sudo' alone,
the right permissions might not permeate to subsidiary programs/scripts
(if used). I tend to advocate running a 'sudo su' to fully super-up into
a root shell, then run the script from there with full privileges, and
drop afterwards.
I was toying with the idea of getting repetier packaged for Gentoo, so
I'd be interested in your mileage under linux, as I do believe my friend
with his XYZ machine has only used it with Windows (so far).
Best regards,
Michael.
