Right -- you would need to provide the password. So it prompts for the 
password for OSX. (Like how it would have been needed if you had run the 
test itself with 'sudo'). Examining the /etc/sudoers file to check if no 
password is needed could have been an option, but that itself would need 
an sudo, and probably would add unwanted complexity.

OutputAnalyzer's shouldMatch() uses the find() method of the Matcher 
class which matches sub-sequences.

Thanks,
Jini.
