如何在Swift中以root权限执行Shell命令

Question

I am new on Swift and I am trying to create a very simple application that executes a root shell command when you press a round button.

I have found the following link online, that explains how to execute a shell command with user permission on swift, but it doesn't tell how to do it with root privileges: http://practicalswift.com/2014/06/25/how-to-execute-shell-commands-from-swift/

How can I do it?

Answer 1

Quick-and-dirty:

NSAppleScript(source: "do shell script \"sudo whatever\" with administrator " +
    "privileges")!.executeAndReturnError(nil)

Alternatively look into privileged helper tools but expect that to be much more complicated.
