 hi,

 I've got this command line that flushes the disk cache on Linux 2.6.16 and 
 later that's very useful to clean big video files from RAM:

 sudo sync; sudo echo 1  /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

 Any of you has an idea how to give a [sudo cmd( message to the [shell] 
 object and on-interactively give the sudo password?

 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:

 Thanks big brother, i've added it to Pdpedia tips and tricks

Thanks, I have elaborated the part a bit, and added pros and cons for
the three methods.
