I have tried it again by calling a simple testscript and executing it
by using run-with-privileges-on-osx but it does not work!
I tried:
===== console output =====
./run-with-privileges ./test.sh bla
cat ./test.sh
#!/bin/bash
whoami > /tmp/me
cat /tmp/me
nik
===== console output =====
As you can see it does not tell that I am root. Also a
./run-with-privileges /bin/bash ./test.sh
gives the same result. Maybe it has something to do with sub processes
not inheriting the user id. Any ideas?
