Hi Saifi, One input to your question. What I have observed is if you use sudo for a command it will ask you for the password.And lets say you dont use sudo for some time and again you use it, then it prompts for the password again. I think there must be some timer maintained for the use of sudo. This is just my observation not an answer to the question. :)
