I need to run a series of NSTasks as root. I've found some samples out there but they are old, complicated, confusing and C-based. Is there 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.

Ben


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
