withsudo_arch
proxy utility for running yay/yaourt/etc under root
Example of usage:
withsudo yay -Syu --noconfirm
or
withsudo yaourt -Syua --noconfirm
Problem:
Generally utilities for updating AUR packages do not work under root account. I mean those yay or yaourt. So far it's impossible to call them by cron to auto update OS.
This proxy utility solves this problem. Just copy this script somewhere to your PATH and prepend your command which updates your system with withsudo and then magic happens.
Requirements:
You should install sudo before you can use this script:
pacman -S sudo
