v 4.2 I'm probably missing the point, but i need my bash shell script to run as root. Root is not 'enabled' I can of course run my script via sudo <script> and it works fine. So, how can I do this with platypus? Ticking 'requires admin privs' presents me with the dialog which I can authenticate with a local admin user, but this does not run the script as root. Help? other than that.. most excellent.. I have interactive dialog boxes via Applescript working well in my shell script, so alls good. :) ______________________________________________________________ This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
