Hi Eric,

Here's the rub that brings me back to square one (unless I  
misunderstand the piping).

If I use the command above, wouldn't the password be sent to "ssh"  
rather than sent to the "sudo" command?  I think I somehow need to  
put echo "password" into the command line after ssh to be piped to  
sudo but I don't understand the syntax to do that.  I believe it has  
to do with single quotes but I can't find a way to get it right.
