Run console application with elevated permissions in MonoDevelop

Question

I would like to run a console application with elevated permissions. Running it from command line with sudo mono myapp.exe works but then I can't see a way to attach to the process for debugging. Is there a way to do this in MonoDevelop directly?

Answer 1

It's possible but nontrivial.

Setting the MONODEVELOP_SDB_TEST environment variable will cause a new "Run->Run With->Custom Soft Debugger" command to show up in MD. You can use this to invoke the Mono debugger and connect it to MonoDevelop.

sudo mono --debugger-agent=${AgentArgs} yourapp.exe
