  • Running BIT as ROOT USER in Linux

    Hello!

    I'm using BIT V2.0 build 1004 for Linux.

    When I run the program, it returns me the following errors:

    RAM: root(admin) access needed to run this test

    How can I prevent this error?

    Can I change the Shell Script to modify this? How?

    Thank you

    Some of the tests in BurnInTest require root permissions to run, the memory test is one of these as it is required to lock a large amount of the available RAM. You will need to log in as root or run BurnInTest using the sudo command.

      Thank you for the answer Tim.

      I have to test many PCs, so I have to automate the process (maximum possible).
      All the computers under test have the same password.

      That said, I do have other related questions...

      Question 1:
      Is it possible to run BIT (with root permissions) without typing a password?
      For example in the shell script, maybe there could be something like:

      exec su -c $bitexe -p:MYPASSWORD

      I know it's probably impossible, but I had to ask.


      Question 2:

      Is it possible to run bitexe as soon as it is executed (without having to press the "green play button")?


      Thank you in advance.

        I don't believe you can pass a password to su or sudo with command line arguments, but i'm fairly certain you can setup sudo to not require a password.

        You can set BurnInTest to automatically start by using the -R command line parameter.

          I will give it a try.
