HI Sven,
I use the command line tool mdutil from the shell to disable
spotlight while I'm working on the filesystem.
Basic pseudo code:
Get the user's password via some mechanism
Get the shell path to the file you're accessing
// fire the sudo timer
theShell.execute "echo " + thePassword + " | sudo -S /usr/bin/true"
// turn off the Spotlight monitor for the path
theShell.execute "sudo mdutil -i off " + theShellPath
//
// manipulate the file and close it
//
// fire the sudo timer again (not required if that last took less
// than 5 minutes
theShell.execute "echo " + thePassword + " | sudo -S /usr/bin/true"
// turn the Spotlight import back on
theShell.execute "sudo mdutil -i on " + theShellPath
// kill the sudo timer
theShell.execute "sudo -K"
That works well here (even though an extra step).
