Summary0008740: Don't use sudo in start_me and stop_me
DescriptionI'm trying to make a nice GUI for server management. Part of that is having a start/stop button. I'd like to use the original shell scripts for starting and stopping. However, this isn't possible because they already contain sudo. If I try to execute the scripts on Xojo I only get the beachball. I have to make a copy of the scripts and remove the sudo. Please provide scripts without the sudo. You should use authorization dialogs in the prefs pane anyways.
TagsNo tags attached.

We do the same things in vServer's pref panel.
Probably you should simply ask the user password and do something like

echo pswd | sudo -S ....

You know that what you are doing is a security risk, right? That's why there is an authorisation dialog.
