Right now, open_shell does not receive the extra help that normal
run/sudo commands do. It may be possible to add it at some point, but
it's not a priority right now.
One potential workaround, depending on your remote server's sudo
configuration, is to simply preface your call to open_shell with a
no-op sudo() call, e.g. sudo("true") or similar. This would cache your
sudo password remotely and thus might let you call sudo within
open_shell without another sudo prompt popping up.
Again, this will only work if your server's sudo config is set to
cache for a few minutes. However that's a common default so it may
work :)
Hope that helps,
Jeff
