I have a script which contains



while true
sudo mycmd
sleep 10000
[ ... ] ; break
end


when I run the script in bash, I will have to provide my password once in 10000 seconds after finishing running the previous instance of sudo mycmd.



I remeber yes | somecommand can repeatedly provide yes as stdin input to somecommand, as answers to repeated questions of "Yes or No". I wonder how I can provide my password repeatedly to the script?



Thanks.
