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.
