I'm trying to launch an application with as root.

I'm trying to use the execve(argv[1], aargv, environ) function to launch the applications executable, but I get this error...

2001-11-26 14:32:14.213 Appname[400] No Info.plist file in application bundle or no NSPrincipalClass in the Info.plist file, exiting

Any ideas? Does anyone have code that will launch an application as root?

There can be problems with launching an application if you don't give it a full path. However, there are easier ways to do this than going straight to exec--NSTask comes to mind--and for getting root privileges there is a whole separate Security framework.
