The 'shell' command is a very useful extension to Rev's native powers.
However, there are some things, at least on OS X, which I want to do that
require the shell command to be issued in super-user mode.
Is there any way to make this happen? If you are working in the terminal,
you can issue the command as "sudo <x>" and you will be asked for the
password. Prefix your parameter to "shell" with "sudo", and the result will
be the single line prompt "Password:".
I don't even know if this is a Rev question, or a bash question, or an OS X
question. But does anybody know of a way that one can in effect pass a
password to shell in this situation, or in any other way get round this problem?
TIA,
