sudo in 10.1 doesn't give BBEdit root access
Authored by: j0nathan on Oct 24, '01 10:48:33AM

I've used a variation of this script further down the page. However, it seems in 10.1 the command "sudo bbopen" no longer gives BBEdit root access to files subsequently opened. Has anyone else experienced this?

doesn't work for me either. the following does work with TextEdit though.

cd /Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit
sudo open -a ./TextEdit /System/Library/StartupItems/Mysql/Mysql

File Mysql is owned by root. This doesn't work with BBedit. When trying to edit with BBedit it pops up a dialog saying this file is owned by root. And the file is locked.
