I have scripted a process that involves updating symbolic links on files located on 3 different machines. On those machines exists 4 users each, who each need to have these links updated.
Using su, is there a way to pass the password argument to the command on a single line, without invoking sudo as the users will not have admin rights?
My only alternative solution at this point is to ssh around, however I would like to be able to do this without hardcoding in a bunch of hosts/ips.
