I want to double click a file on my desktop, and have two files be opened in gedit as sudo.
Whenever I'm making a new website, I need to open
/etc/hosts /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf
as sudo.
At the moment this means opening the terminal, runing sudo gedit then opening each file manually. I want to streamline this part of my workflow. On windows I had wrote a little bash script which worked nicely. How can I do the same in ubuntu?
So far in my searches I've come across ways of adding a shortcut to the file browser, and similar things, but not exactly what I want.
I have tried creating a desktop launcher, but can't see how to make it run as sudo.
