<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT COLOR="#000000" FACE="Geneva" FAMILY="SANSSERIF" SIZE="2">I think this may be what you are looking for:<BR>
<BR>
echo "password" | sudo -S ls<BR>
<BR>
This pipes your password to the "sudo" command. The -S option to sudo reads the password from stdin.<BR>
<BR>
So something like this should work:<BR>
<BR>
function sudoCMD pwd,cmd<BR>
put "echo"&"e&pwd"e&&"|"&&"sudo -S"&&cmd into shellCmd<BR>
return shell(shellCmd)<BR>
end sudoCMD<BR>
