So there remain two choices: Either launch Disk Inventory X with "Pseudo" or login as user "root" and start it normally (as I mentioned, you may have to activate the root account in NetInfo Manager). "Pseudo" must be doing some freaky unix stuff to accomplish this. There seems to be no easy way to start GUI based applications (Carbon/Cocoa) as root.

I will try to dig into the problem and write a post about what I have found out (but unfortunately, I'm not a unix guru - yet.). I had the same problems as you described. Posted: Tue 18 Oct, 2005 19:05 Post subject: I did notice that in terminal, if I sudo first and then try open it doesn't make any difference. I was hoping to use a clickable applescript to prompt authentication and then launch DIX but don't know enough about the difference between using sudo and Pseudo and why sudo isn't working as expected.

I would like to give a gui solution to the schools I work with that is as low cost as possible.

I am using the same account and password in both situations. When I sudo open and then ps -aux I see the process is still running as myself (an admin user) but when I use Pseudo the process is being run as root. I don't understand why sudo open isn't working. Using it to launch DIX, all directories were visible. Posted: Tue 18 Oct, 2005 17:49 Post subject: sudo vs Pseudo

It might be a good idea to test this first as root (this user may be activated first with the "NetInfo Manager" - at least on the desktop version of Mac OS X).

You seem to have some really big files which are invisible for Disk Inventory X (or they reside in some folders in which the app can't look into). I am excited about this tool because in the past we have had problems with users and quotas but DIX will allow the server admins to quickly find the problems. Did I misunderstand that the sudo open should allow for this to happen? I was running DIX as an admin on a 10.3.8 server to check the sizes of networked home directories.Īny help would be appreciated. I tried using the sudo command as suggested, but am still unable to get results for directories in other users' homes.
