I need to run an "exec" task with superuser privileges but I've run into
two problems with two different approaches:
1) Running "sudo ant" doesn't give me access to my user environment
variables.
2) If I do <exec executable = "sudo" ><arg value = "actual_command"
/></exec> it works, but only if I've entered my password for sudo
recently... I can't enter the password for sudo through ant (I have to
hit enter twice, then it says "Sorry, try again", at which point if I
enter it again it *sometimes* works).
Resolving #1 would be ideal, and negate the need for resolving #2. I'm
on Mac OS X (Leopard), if that matters.
The way we do root level access is to ssh in to localhost and run stuff
as root there. you can either set up the <ssh> command with the relevant
(property driven) password, or set up the ssh keys so that you can ssh
in to [EMAIL PROTECTED] using keys alone.
