I am dealing with Windows UAC for the first time. From a script, I would like to launch a process with elevated (administrative) privilege. I can accept that Windows will pop up a modal dialog box confirming the elevated privilege.
Is there an existing utility in Cygwin or elsewhere. An example of what I would like: I have a program named backall that I want to execute with administrative privelege. I am looking for some command xxx that I could invoke from a shell script as xxx backall Does such a utility exist? If I wanted to enhance cygstart to support this feature, which Microsoft API should I use? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
