Closing terminal window dosn't kill sudo'ed program

[Ralf Mardorf]

If you don't want to run into timeout issues when using several sudo
commands use a workaround. Just run a single sudo to launch the script
by itself.

#!/bin/bash
case $1 in
  workaround)
    sudo $0
  ;;
  *)
    while sleep 1
    do
      date
    done
  ;;
esac

xfce4-terminal -x /path/workaround.sh workaround

So you can write with it and no one will know.
