Someone had asked the other day about editing files as root. I notice that TextMate prompts for an admin username/password when asked to save a file to which it does not have access, but that doesn't do much good if the file can't be read in the first place. (BTW, shouldn't TextMate/mate warn if you pass it the name of an inaccessible file?)
Anyway, I whipped up the attached script which I call smate. FWIW, I guess this functionality could be built into mate itself. (Allan, wasn't the source for mate available at some point?)
HTH,
