Greetings!
How can I modify a Cygwin bash script so it runs in elevated
Administrator mode when someone double-clicks it in Windows Explorer?
Use a Run as admin shortcut?
That's how I do it, but you have to trick Windows as it won't let you
set "Run as admin" on a shortcut pointing to s shell script:
Use this as your shortcut target:
C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c C:\path\yourScript.sh
Using Cygwin cygutils mkshortcut with /proc/cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/runas
or `cygpath -US`/runas /user:ADMINISTRATOR "..."
or for normal shortcut -a "/usr/local/bin/SCRIPT ..." /bin/...sh rather than
`cygpath -U $COMSPEC`!
