Thread-topic: Terminal & "sudo" with "password" & "with administrative privileges"
User-agent: Microsoft-Entourage/11.2.4.060510
I used to run a script as follows that worked in a previous (10.2 / 10.3?)
Mac OS, but is not working under the current 10.4. The machine in use now
is new; built from scratch.
tell application "Terminal"
activate
do shell script "sudo chown -R user01 /Users/user01" password
"thepassword" with administrator privileges
end tell
(Note: "thepassword" is the Administrator password.)
"AppleScript Error. Terminal got an error: A privilege violation occurred."
I also tried invoking sudo (and entering the password manually) from
Terminal, then running the script; same results.
Running this command manually works.
Doing an ls (prior to running the command) I see:
drwxr-xr-x 15 user01 staff 510 Oct 10 2005 user01
Ideas? Thanks.
Bob
