I tried to keep the discussion more towards the implementation of it, as I could potentially create a launcher, or go through other ways to make it so you don't have to use the terminal to launch the GUI application (or visa versa).

The privileged helper is needs to be communicated with through the IPC library, which wouldn't be possible if it was launched through a shell. -Kyle On Fri, Aug 7, 2015 at 1:48 PM, Joshua Root <j...@macports.org> wrote: > On 2015-8-8 05:23 , Kyle Sammons wrote: > > Hey Ian, > > > > Thanks for the offer, unfortunately, however, Pallet doesn't run any > > shell commands (everything is passed done through spinning up a Tcl > > shell and passing input/output through IPC), so I'm afraid your example > > wouldn't work. > > MacPorts.framework still uses a privileged helper tool to do the things > that require root, right?
