I need to run a series of NSTasks as root. I've found some samples out

an easy way of doing this in Objective-C? I'd like to just have a
standard Authentication dialogue pop up and then have a method go and
execute a bunch of NSTasks with those privileges. Is that a lot of
work?
Thanks.

I also prefer using NSTask opposed to the other methods (AEWP). What I
would do if I were you is to have the app relaunch as root, then run
your NSTasks. There are other ways though. But I find this way useful
for me as I have to execute a lot of different tasks.
Thanks
