Answer 1

Another way is to make your user a password-less sudo user.

Type the following on command line:

sudo visudo

Then add the following and replace the with yours:

 ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

This will allow the user to execute sudo command without having to ask for password (including application launched by the said user. This might be a security risk though
