I know this is a bad idea, but I'm not sure how else to do this.
I have an app that needs to set permissions on a lot of files on a USB stick. The obvious way to do this is to write a shell script and then execute it with elevated privileges. This is clearly not a safe way to do it as it could easily be exploited, but is there any better way to do this?
Basically I need to run the chown/chmod utilities and probably cp/mv/ mkdir as well using root privileges. What would be the best way to do this?
