Use sudo with password as parameter [closed]

bash linux sudo

Solution 1:

The -S switch makes sudo read the password from STDIN. This means you can do 

echo mypassword | sudo -S command

to pass the password to sudo

However, the suggestions by others that do not involve passing the password as part of a command such as checking if the user is root are probably much better ideas for security reasons

Solution 2:

You can set the s bit for your script so that it does not need sudo and runs as root (and you do not need to write your root password in the script):

sudo chmod +s myscript

Solution 3:

echo -e "YOURPASSWORD\n" | sudo -S yourcommand
