I want to make a Launcher that will do privileged (requires root) commands, but I don't want to see the terminal or have to type my password into the terminal. So I found the command, gksudo that allows me to enter my password so that I can escalate my privilege level. Now I want to couple this, so that I can change the partition priority using this command cgpt add -i 6 -P 0 -S 0 /dev/sda (this command is privileged) and have it automatically reboot from this one launcher.
I setup a Luncher like this:
Name: ChromeOS
Description:
Command: gksudo gnome-terminal -e "cgpt add -i 6 -P 0 -S 0 /dev/sda;reboot"

But it does not work. Any tips?

You don't need a gnome-terminal while running commands with gksudo .
just add this to the launcher .
