I have a situation where I've got Panther running on my G4 and it has Web Services turned on. A Rev CGI is running that reaches out of the web server directory to another directory on disk to write a text file in a specific folder. However once it does this, the owner of the file is "www" (with read/write permissions) and the group is "wheel" (read only permission) and the "Other" also only has read-only permission. What I then need to do is have another standalone Rev app on the same machine open, edit, and save back to that same file. The problem is that I can't do that with the current permissions, and the only way I know to make it happen is to do a "sudo chown" through the terminal... but it asks for password authentication. I need to be able to do it straight from Rev.
So how do you "sudo" via shell() in Rev and pass authentication on the command line?
Not answering your question exactly, but couldn't you have the CGI script do a chmod on the file with shell just after it saves it. This won't need sudo as the CGI runs as the owner of the file and can change permissions. I just tested here and it worked.
