Its a simple change to the last line...

change...

exec $prog $ScanOptions "$@"

to...

exec sudo /path/to/your/script $ScanOptions "$@"

Never looked at it (probably should!).  I use, err, man bash when I need
to find something out.  Theres now a lot you can't do with man pages &
google (esp. google groups), if you have the patience.

My favourite book on just about everything to do with unix system
administration is "UNIX System Administration Handbook (3rd edition)" by
Nemeth, Snyder, Sebass and Hein which I can't recommend highly enough (I
found it especially useful as it covers Solaris and Linux - which I use
- it also covers HP-UX and FreeBSD IIRC).  Its a good primer on most
common unix admin tasks, as well as a damn good place to start with
TCP/IP, user policies and even specifying air-con for your server room!

I found that a good tutorial, but I don't like it much as a reference
book.  Programming Perl by Wall, Christiansen and Orwant (also O'Reilly)
is a good accompaniment.  I'd be interested in hearing Julians view on
good perl books [maybe he should write one!]
