I'm running into an issue that's above my skill level and could really use some guidance. My application has an SUID-root update utility (I know that's unusual, but it's an internal application that needs to be able to update itself even when the logged-in user isn't privileged) stored inside the application bundle. It downloads the update, sends a message back to the parent application that it's OK to quit, moves the new copy into place, and launches it.
That last bit is giving me issues. I'm using -[NSWorkspace openFile:] to do the actual relaunching. It returns YES, but my application doesn't launch and "com.apple.launchd[152] ([0x0-0xb80b8].com.mycompany.MyApplication[3836]) Exited with exit code: 255" appears in the Console. I noticed that at this point, if I use open (on the command line) to try to launch my (updated) application, it works. However, if I sudo open, it prints "LSOpenFromURLSpec() failed with error -10810 for the file ...". -10810 translates to "Unexpected internal error". If I touch the application bundle, open starts working as me and as root. Following this thread, I tried calling utimes() from my helper before openFile:, but run into the same condition. I've also tried LSRegisterURL() with no change. Can anyone give me a hint as to what's happening here? I'm lost. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
