That's a pretty good idea TBH, if I get time today I'll work on implementing that. If the variable is empty then the behaviour will be the same as it is currently

If you're willing to entertain another suggestion: it seems like adding authentication clients is not the optimum solution, perhaps baph should check for the presence of an environment variable that specifies the program to run for authentication (same as how the text editor to run is determined) and if the variable does not exist just try sudo and then su if sudo doesn't exist, since sudo is likely to be present on an arch system and su must be present on any LSB compliant system.

With pkexec the default is to ask the user to authenticate every time (as specified in
/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.policykit.policy), but that can be changed by adding a rule like:/etc/polkit-1/rules.d/50-pkexec.rulesnatemaia commented on 2024-12-12 20:40 (UTC) (edited on 2024-12-12 20:40 (UTC) by natemaia)
I've added pkexec support when the
-gflag is used and fixed the multiple auth issue but it's still the case with pkexec due it not storing a "session" like sudo does. I don't think this is a big deal though.appreciate the suggestion, cheers

It would be nice if baph could also test for policykit's pkexec when elevating privileges.

Author here, I never knew this was packaged and instead of using my repo as the source it was forked only to be left unmaintained. Regardless I've adopted and updated it.
The issues Alad brought up have since been fixed, thanks
