Myself I assume it does, for it hardly could not :) Anyway...
Trust me, I will try it and let you know how it goes.
... let's see :)
Either way, though, it seems like the best approach given the
alternatives, so even if it doesn't work, that's probably how it
will go.
Myself, I would go through ps. It would spare me authentification and
all that stuff, since it's already suid root and It would also make
the complete thing much more secure, for I would not need to
authenticate and root-launch my own stuff, which is always bad and to
be avoided whenever remotely possible.
At any rate, once again—once you get into the realm of links, we
are discussing end-user sabotage, which I don't care about :) Let's
assume, for the purposes of this discussion, that the end user will
not go out of their way to break the process once it starts to run.
If they do, it's really their loss :)
I would not call those things "sabotage" by far. But all right, if
you are about to exclude any "non standard" behaviour, "standard"
being here defined as "non-admin inexperenced user would do this
willingly in Finder", then I guess all right :)
