“sudo su -” after login in Royal TS
I've setup Royal TS to automatically login using my username on several linux machines. I want to make it automatically run sudo su - after connect, enter my password, so I'm root after a simple double click on the connection.
I've managed to do this by creating a key sequence task like this:
{WAIT:1000}
sudo su -
{WAIT:500}
$this.EffectivePassword$
It works but the issue I'm having is that upon login the password is shown on the screen in clear. I've tried playing around with {WAIT:1000} but it's still shown.
Does anyone have a working example of how this should be configured?
Thanks!

Thinking about it from another angle, why not have NOPASSWD in your sudoers? Just to clarify, this means it won't be prompted for your password.

What worked for me was just putting in another enter just like if you were actually typing the command out on a keyboard. You type sudo su - then hit enter then type password then hit enter again. I had to have some wait but not as much as you had initially entered.
{WAIT:20}sudo su -{WAIT:10}{ENTER}$this.EffectivePassword${ENTER}

I found the key sequence below to work. The principle is to do some keyboard task before putting the effective password. So I put abc characters and deleted it. Also remember that there is an implicit newline character after carriage returns.
{WAIT:500}sudo su - {WAIT:500}
{WAIT:100}abc{BACKSPACE}{BACKSPACE}{BACKSPACE}$this.EffectivePassword${ENTER}
