I have a bash script I often run which requires root access, so I<br>
precede the command with sudo. It looks like this:<br>
<br>
sudo bin/mount_some_network_folders<br>
<br>
After that, I usually run a command that does not require root access.<br>
It looks like this:<br>
<br>
idle bin/ascript.py<br>
<br>
So I thought, why not append that command to the end of my script and<br>
save a score of keystrokes. My question is, can I return back from<br>
the sudo while inside the bash script before executing that last line?<br>
