Running without password request?

[Alexander Payne]

Is it possible to run the child psync process without sudo, thus eliminating the password request when the backup begins?  Obviously setting sudo not to ask for a password is an option, but not a secure one.

I ask because if I want PsyncX to backup late at night when I won't be at my computer to enter my admin password, how is it to proceed unattended?

Thanks for a great app!

I don't know if this is an option for your setup but if you run psync as root it will still prompt you for the sudo pass but will not recquire that one be entered.

The way PsyncX does its scheduling circumnavigates this problem.  By writing to /etc/crontab (root's crontab file), the psync process will run as root when you schedule a job.  So you should be set.
