Issuing "sudo" cmds + password from Rev Scripts

It is possible to do this without AppleScript. Here is an example script:

-- build the command lines
 put "#!/bin/sh" & cr into tScript
 put "pw=" & quote & tPass & quote & cr after tScript
 put "echo $pw | sudo -S " & tShellCommand & cr after tScript
 -- do the command & get the result
 put shell(tScript) into tCheck

Just set the variables tPass & tShellCommand and check the value in
tCheck when finished.
You will neeed to ask for the password at least once, but then it
should be able to process whatever you need.

Cheers,
