Good to know that Ian, thank you.
My personal approach is to remove the password prompt timeout ↓ in the
sudoers-file and just have the command chain wait for the password when
done pulling. Not time-efficient at all, but completely effortless for
me.
(define-module (suweren commons sudoers)
#:use-module (guix gexp))
(define-public %sudoers-specification*
(let ((content (string-append "root ALL=(ALL) ALL \n"
"%wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL \n"
"Defaults passwd_timeout=0 \n")))
(plain-file "sudoers" content)))
