Not without passing the current administrator password in cleartext. I have 
done this before by simply creating a multiline shell script in a variable. It 
will act as though a user was typing in each line and hitting return. Sudo only 
needs to be authenticated once per terminal session, so take care that you 
don’t put the password after every sudo command.
