No problem... I was just giving you an example of how to pass authentication via shell using an example I had of killing a process. You're not killing a process, so everything that comes after "sudo" needs to be your own command, so you'd do: echo $pw | sudo sfdisk -s But you already have a workable solution, so this is just FYI...
