enable Accessibility API

[tkimpton]

In previous OS i used this command to enable Accessibility

sudo touch /private/var/db/.AccessibilityAPIEnabled

for some reason if i have this in a policy in 10.8 it prompts for admin credentials.

Has anyone else noticed this

echo -n 'a' | sudo tee /private/var/db/.AccessibilityAPIEnabled > /dev/null 2>&1; sudo chmod 444 /private/var/db/.AccessibilityAPIEnabled
