Run shellscript as root
Hi all,
Before I start the copy I need to shut down groupware software and copy MySQL databases using a shell script. After copy MySQL and groupware off course need to be started again. These tasks need to be performed using shell scripts ran as root. How can I run a shellscript as root from SuperDuper!? Nico |
Use the before/after shell script options in Advanced Options.
|
Yeah, but how do I run a shell script as root instead of the user that launched SuperDuper?

SD! runs that script authorized. Alternatively, you can suid the script...
|
SD! may run authorized, but certainly not as root. I get authorization errors.
Maybe you can help me out how to suid the script. Thanks in advance. Nico |
I figured it out.
From Applescript you can run a shell command authenticated as a certain user. From shell you can run Applescript commands. This can combined in a shellscript like: #!/bin/tcsh -f osascript -e 'do shell script "echo " & "MySQL is being stopped"' osascript -e 'do shell script "/Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM/MySQLCOM stop" user name "root" password "my secret password" with administrator privileges' osascript -e 'do shell script "echo "& "Wait 10 seconds"' osascript -e 'delay 10' osascript -e 'do shell script "echo "& "MySQL databases are being copied"' osascript -e 'do shell script "cp -f -R /usr/local/mysql-max-5.0.27-osx10.4-i686/data /usr/local/mysql-max-5.0.27-osx10.4-i686/data_backup" user name "root" password "my secret password" with administrator privileges' osascript -e 'do shell script "echo "& "Waits 10 seconds"' osascript -e 'delay 10' osascript -e 'do shell script "echo "& "MySQL is being started"' osascript -e 'do shell script "/Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM/MySQLCOM start" user name "root" password "my secret password" with administrator privileges' Don't forget to chmod 755 the shell script file, otherwise you will get a permission error.
