using a launcher to run a script

I'm trying to run a shell script on 7.04 & 7.10.

The script is kept in /etc/init.d.  Let's call it foo.

#!/bin/sh

sudo /etc/init.d/foo stop

rm -rf /var/tmp/*

sudo /etc/init.d/foo start

# end of script

This script runs fine from the command line.  It doesn't from a launcher.  Yes, I've told it to run in a terminal.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.
