This isn't pretty. It makes you enter a password then gives you 20 seconds no matter what button you push.


    set tmpfile to "/tmp/execme"
    set process_name to "Keychain Scripting"
    set dscript to "ps -Ac | egrep" & space & quoted form of process_name & space & "| awk '{print $1}'"
    set Process_id to (do shell script dscript)
    --do shell script "kill" & space & Process_id
    set shell_kil_command to "kill" & space & Process_id
    do shell script "pwd" with administrator privileges
    set theShellScript to "sleep 20
sudo" & space & shell_kil_command
    do shell script "echo " & quoted form of theShellScript & " > " & tmpfile
    do shell script "chmod +x" & space & tmpfile
    do shell script tmpfile & space & "> /dev/null 2>&1  &" with administrator privileges


    get_keychain_info(k)
