James, how do you delete launchd conf files? Did you delegate all such operations to a helper tool, and launch that tool using AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges ? I have written an uninstaller script, and now looking for a way to "integrate" it in my non root application with "Quit and uninstall" button. (This non root app is not writable by anyone but root). What i have thought so far, is to create a helper tool, with a system("here is the content of my uninstalling script file") call, then i am going to launch it using AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges. I don't know if it's the right way though. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
