I've got another question about using this. Hope you don't mind.
Is there anyway to suppress the dialog if it has already displayed
once in a session? I realize there's a timeout thing with sudo that
eventually expires (my Unix knowledge is limited), and at that point
a new dialog would have to appear anyway.
But here's my situation. I have a Rev script that performs a few
different tasks in one swipe, some of which require admin privileges
on the system. They involve changing a certain file's permissions,
editing the file, then changing the permissions back. But it seems
that every time the command changes, even if it's simply "chmod 750"
to "chmod 755", a dialog comes up again. So I'm ending up with 2 or 3
dialogs right in a row. Any way to keep this from happening? Is there
some way to extract the user name and password and then pass those
like in your second example? That's probably not a very kosher thing
to do, though.
Thanks,
Chris

You mean Apple provides no way for any scripting language to

For the dialog use AppleScript:
do shell script "command" with administrator privileges
To pass other items use:
do shell script "command" user name "me" password "mypassword" with
administrator privileges
