I'd like to point out that the proposed solution is not to be
recommended from a security point of view;
' echo "root_password" ... blabla ... ' will result in the password
being piped through to 'sudo' in clear text, potentially making root
access available for malicious code lurking in the background.
For details see <http://www.rixstep.com/1/20050501,03.shtml>.
Sorry for the late input
G.
here is how I have done it in the past
echo "passwordHere" | sudo -S /usr/sbin/sysctl -w
