How to run a script as root on Mac OS X? [closed]
Question
What should I type on the Mac OS X terminal to run a script as root?
Solution
As in any unix-based environment, you can use the sudo
command:
$ sudo script-name
It will ask for your password (your own, not a separate root
password).
OTHER TIPS
Or you can access root terminal by typing sudo -s
In order for sudo to work the way everyone suggest, you need to be in the admin
group.
sudo ./scriptname
sudo ./scriptname
sudo bash will basically switch you over to running a shell as root, although it's probably best to stay as su as little as possible.
