 Thanks for your software, has.

I don't have the with solved, but it goes something like this:

 import osax
 
 sa = osax.OSAX()
 
 print sa.do_shell_script(ls -l)

HTH, Charles

OK, I got it:

 import osax
 
 sa = osax.OSAX()
 
 print sa.do_shell_script(ls -l, administrator_privileges=True)

If you look in the Applescript dictionary, it appears the function syntax is:

 set theResult to do shell script unicode text ¬
  as type class ¬
  administrator privileges boolean ¬
  user name unicode text ¬
  password unicode text ¬
  altering line endings boolean

So administrator privileges is a boolean.

Have a look at the documentation for py-appscript OSAX:

http://appscript.sourceforge.net/py-appscript/doc/osax-manual/index.html

And there's this about invoking the shell from Applescript:

Thanks Charles, I had forgotten that do shell script is a part of the
Standard Addition osax. Now I know how to run a script that needs the
user's permission without having to use some GUI scripts to get the
admin/password dialog.
