I now have a prompt that recurs every 30s wanting me to allow running some unknown sudo script.
The prompt is a macos builtin prompt that takes the center of the screen and can lose focus but can't be moved or minimized. It is what you would expect to get if you ran something like
Obviously I'm not going to allow it because I don't know what it is. Hitting cancel works, but it pops back up 30s later.
Is there any way to track down what program is causing it?
If it matters at all, this is an M2 running Sonoma 14.5
Seems like this questions
sudo htop
on the command line.
Specifically it reads:
> sudo is trying to execute a command as administrator.
> Touch ID or enter your password to allow this.
