| Hi, I am new to PackageMaker and this list. I am writing a database app that I need to create the database in a preinstall script. In order to do this, I need to check if the database server is running and start it if it is not. However, you need administrative rights to start the database. The commands
sudo /Library/StartUpItems/MySQLCOM/MySQLCOM start or sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server start
work just fine for this, but a password is needed. How can I get the installer to use the user's password to do this? Or is there another way to do this that would not require using "sudo?" Thanks! |
