The 'shell' command is a very useful extension to Rev's native powers. However, there are some things, at least on OS X, which I want to do that require the shell command to be issued in super-user mode.

Is there any way to make this happen? If you are working in the terminal, you can issue the command as "sudo <x>" and you will be asked for the password. Prefix your parameter to "shell" with "sudo", and the result will be the single line prompt "Password:".

I don't even know if this is a Rev question, or a bash question, or an OS X question. But does anybody know of a way that one can in effect pass a password to shell in this situation, or in any other way get round this problem?

TIA,
