Hi Chris,
Is it possible to:
- copy the files to a place where the user does have permission
- do all your changes
- copy them back to the original place?
Then it seems like there might only be one dialog.
Just a thought -

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 request
authorization on its own? Not even AppleScript?
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
