Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: sudo
Hi, first of all sorry if I'm not in the right place to post.
When running personnal scripts, sometimes it is useful to run a sudo
command once in a while. The problem is, if you're not in front of the
terminal when running, it asks for the sudo password until you come
back.... Not convenient if you run a very long script.
Running the whole script as sudo is not really wise, don't you think ?
I think it could be useful to have a command that asks for the sudo
password at the very beginnig and memorize it for later on. Example :
get_sudo myscript.sh (<-- asks for the password before running the
script, once for all)
myscript.sh :
#!/bin/sh
normal command (<-- is not run as super user, but casual one)
another normal command (same)
...
restitute_sudo mkdir ...... (<-- no problem to be run since the password sudo
has been remembered)
...
What do you think ?
