I'm creating a system preference and I'm trying to run the following
script either as root or it could be run using a sudo somehow:
/usr/java/cascade/bin/run.sh
I have tried to do this using an NSTask, but I'm not quite sure how
to get it to authenticate properly. I'd like to have the app prompt
the user for an administrator username/password and be able to do it
that way, but I'm open to other options.
A further caveat is that ideally, I'd like it to not prompt the user
every time. The user needs to be able to start/stop this service and
also write and read settings from a configuration file in the same
directory.
I guess ideally the user would click a lock icon and be able to lock/
unlock the interface. Does anyone know of any good simple examples
of this? I've found finding example system preferences very
difficult, especially when it comes to authentication.
Sorry this is so off the wall and such. This is the first cocoa
project I've ever attempted and I've been struggling through it for
the last 3 days.
