Elevate a particular command instead of entire script?

[makeasnek]

Just came across this library, it looks like it does exactly what I need. Is there a way to call this to elevate a specific command? I don't need my entire script to run as root, just one command (to call a shell script on an OS X system). Thank you!

hi makeasnek

if stdin is still connected to a tty, then putting sudo in front of the command that needs to be elevated should work, and you will be prompted for a password

Thank you for the tip and your reply. For this particular use case I'm pretty sure I'll need to get the standard GUI prompt which is why I was excited to use this library for it.
