[linux] Use sudo with password as parameter

The -S switch makes sudo read the password from STDIN. This means you can do

echo mypassword | sudo -S command

to pass the password to sudo

However, the suggestions by others that do not involve passing the password as part of a command such as checking if the user is root are probably much better ideas for security reasons
