Running with elevated privileges on Mac OS X ============================================ As the name suggests, this tool is able to launch other programs with elevated privileges on Mac OS X. Darwin is probably missing such a tool (a.k.a graphical sudo). Running it is straightforward, just append the executable path and its arguments on the command-line. Compiling ========= 1. Get XCode 2. Open the project 3. Build using the "Release" target 4. Enjoy either as a standalone tool, or embedded as an external tool for your own applications.
