Kainé on Nostr: How... can I switch to the root user with sudo in #bash while reading the password ...

How... can I switch to the root user with sudo in #bash while reading the password from a variable?

These don't work:


echo "$sudo_password" | sudo -S su -
# or
echo "$sudo_password" | sudo -S -i
I've also verified that the password (var) being passed should be correct. If I enter the password manually, interactively, the commands work:


sudo su -
# or
sudo -i
