Bash: sudo -S <<< “mypassword” - interactive shell issue
I'm trying to use sudo with -S to issue the password via command line.
$ sudo -S <<< "mypassword" command
This works, but it doesn't allow for interactive commands. Like nano for example:
$ sudo -S <<< "mypassword" nano /tmp/foo
It automatically closes the nano session. Same with apt-get:
$ sudo -S <<< "mypassword" apt-get install foo
It closes before I can press "y" to install foo. I know I can pass -y with apt but overall, this is frustrating.
Also tried stuff like this, but it still fails to engage with interactive session:
$ sudo -S <<< "mypassword" -H -u root bash -c "apt-get install foo"
Is it possible to use -S with sudo without cancelling all interactive shells?
