Hi
I am using AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges to run a shell script which needs root privileges. I can execute the shell scripts as a local user, but can't run scripts which need root privileges.
I read through many doc's on the net and the guides in developer.apple.com since yesterday, and haven't found an answer yet.
Please advice.
------------- the code --------------------------
AuthorizationRef authRef_;
NSString *pathToTool = @"/bin/sh";
NSString *filePath3 = @"~/Desktop/AUTOscript/loadApp.sh";
argsArray3[0] = "-p";
argsArray3[1] = (char *)[[filePath3 stringByExpandingTildeInPath] fileSystemRepresentation];
argsArray3[2] = NULL;
OSStatus status3 = AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges(authRef_, [pathToTool UTF8String], 0, argsArray3 , NULL);
// no flags or pipes here.
-------------------------------------------------------
Thank you
DG
