Hello,
I'm currently working on a Preference Pane with an SFAuthorizationView, my
problem is simple, when I click on a switch button I need to start / stop a
daemon as user using launchctl.
I tried 3 different ways and the only one that is working is the slowest, here
the 3 ways I tried :
1 - Using the authorizationRef object of my SFAuthorizationView and call
AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges() ("/bin/launchctl load
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.mydaemon.plist")
--> Failed. daemon not launched as root, but as current user.
2 - Using /usr/bin/security with an NSTask : "/usr/bin/security
execute-with-privileges /bin/launchctl load
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.mydaemon.plist"
--> Failed. daemon not launched as root, but as current user + ask a
second time for an admin password..
3 - Using AppleScript :
NSAppleScript *script = [[NSAppleScript alloc] initWithSource:@"do shell script
\"/bin/launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.mydaemon.plist\" with
administrator privileges"];
NSDictionary *errorInfo;
[script executeAndReturnError:&errorInfo];
[script release];
--> Worked but very slow and I have to re-enter an admin password,
which is very annoying.
So is there any other way to do this without enter 2 times an admin password ?
Thanks for your help.
Nyxem.
