Completely off topic, but I'm sure someone out there is using scripts that require a sudo password of some sort, so I'll ask.
What are people doing to automate tasks that required sudo passwords in order to run? sudo without a password is not an option for me, but I would like to be able to enter the password once have it saved and then read back when sudo is required.
something like
run_on_all_hosts perform_sudo_command script prompts for password script lauches on all hosts and passes password when required.
Any examples?
