I've the following shell script (only two lines):

sudo apt-get upgrade

Every sudo needs the password. How can I integrate the password in the shell script? Thanks in advance.

Run the script with sudo and it will authenticate to the sudo commands in the script. I use similar scripts.

Hi

I created a launcher with the following command line:

sudo shell-script

And the shell-script contains one line: sudo apt-get update

But the louncher doesn't work. I guess I got something wrong. Can you give me an eyample, please? Thanks!
