Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Thomas M Goerger <>]

Okay, that was the problem that I was running into initially.  I can't
seem to get a root session started.  I'm getting the same Method
Invocation error.

gsh-0.1.1 5% root=SubjectFinder.findRootSubject()
subject: id='GrouperSystem' type='application' source='g:isa'
name='GrouperSystem'
gsh-0.1.1 6% session=GrouperSession.start(root)
// Error: unable to evaluate command: Sourced file: inline evaluation of:
``session=GrouperSession.start(root);'' : Method Invocation
GrouperSession.start

I'm guessing this is a permission problem also?  How does one identify
oneself as the root user in the gsh?
