Answer 1

Another solution is editing the

etc/sudoers

configuration file.

A setting on that file can allow a specific user to execute a specific commands (with... yes... specific parameters) as super user.

If the command itself is not the problem, but the problem is exposing the password in the code then this may be the solution.

The sudores file should be edited running the command visudo as super user.

Before you start tampering with sudoers I strongly suggest you to get a basic knowledge of visudo and the sudoers syntax, as messing that file may causes serius issues to the system.

As you know what you are doing is just a matter of adding a couple of lines.
