Is there a property in Info.plist that I can set to give my Java
application, packaged as a .app bundle, the superuser privilege? Or
some other simple way to run a Java app with superuser privileges?
My application exposes a small, low-function, secure HTTP server (this
is not the main function of my application, but it is needed to support
a master/remote interface between machines on a local area network in a
user's home). This requires superuser privileges.
It works fine in a shell when I prefix my application with "sudo". But
I can't ask users to do that! I have also been able to get it to work
from an AppleScript (something like 'do shell script "sudo open
MyApp"'). That will be what I will have to ship, unless there is a
better, more "transparent" solution.
Any ideas?
Bill
