This sounds as if Rajeev is trying to place a wrapper around 'sudo'. If so, you'll need to get the username and password and the pass them through to the sudo'd command like this (assumes the user is in the / etc/sudoers file and that thePassword contains their password): echo thePassword | sudo -S theCommand If I've mis-guessed here, please explain what you're trying to achieve further.
