10.4: Create a 'Run As' contextual menu command
Authored by: nlemac on Aug 26, '05 10:58:13PM

You can just open the terminal and type "sudo open /path/to/vise-installer", Enter password, and the installer will open and run as root.

10.4: Create a 'Run As' contextual menu command

That won't work. The open tool will change UID to the user who is currently logged into the GUI. You could use:


sudo /System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Versions/A/Support/LaunchCFMApp /Path/To/Vise/Installer

The "sudo open" command won't work for me even in 10.3 since I'm not a member of the sudoers file om my computer.

If Pseudo lets me run the app as a separate user that's a great benefit for me.

Correcting myself... Pseudo definitely won't let me run an app as another user (and thereby run it as System Admin or root).
