Hi All,

I’d like to execute a Shell Script with the “sudo” command, e.g.

sudo some-command

If I do this from the terminal it prompts me for my password how can I do this from an AppleScript, ideally I’d like the Standard Mac OS Password Dialog to appear…..

Is this possible?

All the Best
Dave

I'd like to know how to do it _without_ the dialog. Something like:

do shell script xxx with user ID yyy and password zzz

The dictionary of Standard Additions is often a valuable source of infos.

Here it is which state :

do shell script v : Execute a shell script using the ‘sh’ shell

do shell script text : the shell script to execute.

[as type class] : the desired type of result; default is text (UTF-8)

[administrator privileges boolean] : execute the command as the administrator

[user name text] : use this administrator account to avoid a password dialog (If this parameter is specified, the “password” parameter must also be specified.)

[password text] : use this administrator password to avoid a password dialog

[with prompt text] : the prompt to be displayed in the password dialog when the name and password are not specified or are incorrect

[altering line endings boolean] : change all line endings to Mac-style and trim a trailing one (default true)

→ text : the command output

For answers to commonly asked questions about do shell script, see Technical Note TN2065.
