I want to make a program with a GUI that controls Intel Turbo Boost through intel_pstate/no_turbo.

btnDisable will trigger:

echo -n 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/no_turbo

btnEnable will trigger:

echo -n 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/no_turbo

However, I want to run those commands from a .sh file, and ask for root permissions to do so, how can I achieve this?

  • I would simply print an error saying something like "need to be run as root" when it fails – zapl Jun 06 '16 at 20:06
  • but I want the program to ask for root permissions and run it – Sara P.P. Jun 06 '16 at 20:14
