Re: How to execute sudo command(s) without the use of module(s)

in reply to How to execute sudo command(s) without the use of module(s)

Check if the version of sudo you are using already supports the -S flag. That would allow you to send the password through its stdin stream.

Otherwise, you will have to setup a pair of master/slave pseudo-ttys and set the slave as the child process tty. Doing that is quite OS dependent. I am not even sure it can be done without IO::Pty (that's also used by Expect under the hood).
