Add support for sudo

[rejeep]

API:

(prodigy-define-service
  :sudo t
  :sudo-user "foo"
  ;; ...
 )

sudo support would be great

Any news on this feature ? :)

[rejeep]

Nope. It's not that hard to implement, just haven't had any time to do so. Anyone is welcome to take a stab at it. Otherwise you'll have to wait I'm afraid...

Hi @rejeep do you think that approach presented in this answer would be the way to go about it?

[rhuelga]

To launch sudo shell command I use this

(defun sudo-shell-command (command)
  (interactive "MShell command (root): ")
  (with-temp-buffer
    (cd "/sudo::/")
    (async-shell-command command)))

I found it in this thread
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/gnu.emacs.help/fXxnXc3v-pM
and works perfect for me.

@asok I guess you can do it in both ways. I tried to implement sudo once and I got it working and that was using the answer you posted. I didn't save that branch unfortunately, but I remember that it was quite easy to get it working.
