Scripting sudo password

Hello,

I am new to SUDO and would like to know if there is a command line option to include the password. I am trying to run a series of commands, which need to be run as SUDO, but I am prompted for the password when ever the script starts. I can not change the sudoers file to have NOPASSWORD. I can not run the script with the ROOT id either. Any ideas or work arounds? Thank you in advance.

You can also use expect, try running autoexpect and it'll give you a sample output file that you can then tweak to your liking.If you don't have expect, download it from sunfreeware.com - also get TK because you'll need it.
