+=== Execute sudo cmd without needing to type password ===
+== Staying Safe ==
+  - backup ''/etc/sudoers'' file i.e. copy to somewhere safe
+  - leave at least one terminal window open as root
+  - edit ''/etc/sudoers'' with ''visudo'' not ''sudo''. It's a wrapper for your already configured editor (not necessarily vi)
+== The Magic ==
+  * create a wrapper script that does all your magic for you. Don't add sudo to the cmds in the wrapper script
+  * using ''visudo'' add to the end of your ''/etc/sudoers'' file ''USERNAME ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: FULL_PATH_TO_SCRIPT'' substituting in USERNAME and FULL_PATH_TO_SCRIPT as necessary
+  * to execute the cmd without password type ''sudo FULL_PATH_TO_THE_SCRIPT''
 ===== Misc =====
    * write to dmesg: ''echo Some message > /dev/kmsg''
