Re: Cocoa/run sudo

This works for me ... You need sudo -S to take the password from stdin


// we need a pipe for stdin to pass a password to sudo
NSPipe * stdinPipe = [[NSPipe alloc] init];
// to write to the pipe we need a file handle
NSFileHandle * pipeWrite = [stdinPipe fileHandleForWriting];
// can only write NSData to a file handle
NSData * password = [user_password dataUsingEncoding:NO];
// write the data and close the pipe
[pipeWrite writeData:password];
[pipeWrite closeFile];
// set the pipe to stdin for our script task
[removeMRTask setStandardInput:stdinPipe];
