One way is to exclude these commands from needing the password via http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2004/02/msg00656.html Another way is pipelining stdin: echo "YOURPASSWORD"|sudo sync; ... or for some real shell programming and using a textfile for stdin: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/io-redirection.html cu Thomas -- "Prisons are needed only to provide the illusion that courts and police are effective.

[PD] [shell] issue
