What do you mean "terminally typed executable"?  Could you give me a brief
example?

You probably want to use .bashrc ($HOME/.bashrc, in particular).  That
always gets run, login shell or not.

I don't know about the "sudo" each time problem.  But, you can at least
make sudo not ask the password each time.  This is what I do.

Add these lines to your /etc/sudoers file:

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Defaults:robert timestamp_timeout=-1

robert,root     ALL=(ALL) ALL

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Change "robert" to whatever your username is (test?).)
