shell() and sudo

[Yennie at aol.com]

I think this may be what you are looking for:

echo "password" | sudo -S ls

This pipes your password to the "sudo" command. The -S option to sudo reads 
the password from stdin.

So something like this should work:

function sudoCMD pwd,cmd
   put "echo"&&quote&pwd&quote&&"|"&&"sudo -S"&&cmd into shellCmd
   return shell(shellCmd)
end sudoCMD
