If you're unable to run a custom function with `sudo` in a Zsh script, it's likely due to how Zsh interacts with `sudo` and function scoping. To execute a custom function with `sudo` in a Zsh script, you can use the `sudo` command to run the entire script or call the function explicitly with `sudo`. Here are two approaches:
1. **Run the Entire Script with `sudo`**:
You can run the entire script with `sudo` to ensure that the custom function and any other commands within the script run with elevated privileges. For example:
```zsh
#!/bin/zsh
# This is your custom function
my_function() {
# Your custom function code
}
# Call your function with sudo
sudo my_function
# Other script code
```
Save the script and then run it with `sudo`:
```bash
sudo ./your_script.zsh
```
2. **Explicitly Call the Function with `sudo`**:
If you want to call only the custom function with `sudo` while the rest of the script runs with regular privileges, you can do so explicitly:
```zsh
#!/bin/zsh
# This is your custom function
my_function() {
# Your custom function code
}
# Other script code
# Call your function with sudo
sudo my_function
```
Save the script and run it without `sudo`. The custom function within the script will be called with elevated privileges:
```bash
./your_script.zsh
```
Choose the approach that best fits your script's requirements. The first approach runs the entire script with elevated privileges, while the second approach calls the custom function with `sudo` while keeping the rest of the script running with regular user privileges.
