I have a script that I've been using in (Snow) Leopard that starts with ...

do shell script "softwareupdate -l"

I just tried using it in Lion and all I got was ...

error 102, Must be run as root

Now what do I do?

This should take care of it:

do shell script "softwareupdate -l" with administrator privileges user name"lutherf" password "blah"

The "user name" and "password" parts are optional. If not supplied, the script will prompt for the information.
