Run a command line tools with arguments in AppleScript

Question

I did the following and it works fine, I added my Command Line Tool to the Resource Folder of my project and did the following below:

set myPath to POSIX path of (path to resource "MyComandLineTool") do shell script "cp " & quoted form of POSIX path of myPath & space & "/private/tmp" with administrator privileges set cmd to "/private/tmp/myPath -r" do shell script " " & cmd with administrator privileges

I wanted to know how not to pass it to /private/tmp, just run it from within the Resources folder of my project.

It's quite similar, just omit the copying part

set myPath to quoted form of (POSIX path of (path to resource "MyComandLineTool"))
do shell script myPath & " -r" with administrator privileges

Note: quoted form of is always good practice as the path could contain space characters
