Fping Root issue

Hi

Can you please assist. I have downloaded the Fping zenpack.

It requires me to run it as root. How do you change the command so that it runs as root.

I have tried to set it up using GKSU, but this also proved not to be working.

Regards

You can add the command to the /etc/sudoers file to enable access for the zenoss users to the command.
This will enable you to run the command as zenoss user.
