Hi ALL,
I was wondering if anybody could tell me if it's correct to use authorizationExecuteWithPrivileges and wait() calls together, so the parent process wait's until that new child process finishes. Googling seems to imply this from the examples I've seen.

However reading the documentation (within XCode) the authorizationExecuteWithPrivileges, doesn't mention that the privileged process is actually a child of the process which executed this ? As while I can understand this, I thought maybe another process actually launched the requested executable as root.

Thanks for any clarifications, as I would like to be sure this is correct way to wait for process to finish when I call authorizationExecuteWithPrivileges, and not this how it works today.

Thanks
Mark.
