open elevated process seems to work ok. The following handler, opens bash as an elevated process, then writes to it and reads from it. Should be possible to run a pre-made shell script too.
Yep, just tried it works fine. Notice the "whoami" command that is written, it confirms that using open elevated process does indeed = root. on mouseUp put "/bin/bash" into tProcess open elevated process tProcess for text update -- opens a shell with elevated privs -- writes commands to the shell. Here I change owner of a file to root, --then later list it in field 1 as proof that it was done write "chown root test.fil;ls -l test.fil" & return to process tProcess -- makes sure there was time to complete the command before reading wait 15 milliseconds --this does just what it says read from process tProcess until empty put it & return into field 1 -- another check. Should show root as who I am. write "whoami" & return to process tProcess wait 15 milliseconds -- get the results read from process tProcess until empty put it & return after field 1 close process tProcess end mouseUp _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
