Guys, As far as I know, you can't ask for the user password and pass it to a shell call with clever use of pipes. That is not how sudo works, you can't:
cat password.txt | sudo cd .. or sudo cd .. < password.txt The only way I found to script sudo calls is by using expect ( http://www.nist.gov/el/msid/expect.cfm ). Expect is a tool to automate interactive console applications. You can craft an expect script that call sudo and whatever else you want to do and call that script with shell(). =) _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
