Hi everyone,

it's years since I everyday use kde connect from my android phone to 
make stuff on my linux home "server" (a desktop PC with various server 
services), and I'd like to know how to run "root" commands, as an 
example: sudo apt update, or stuff like this. Browsing the internet I 
didn't find anything suitable for my needs, the only one thing looking 
like what I have in mind is this: "$ echo <password> | sudo -S apt 
update", but I am not sure about "$" and capital S, and, from a 
terminal, it doesn't work, so I'm not sure it is the right syntax. 
Trying from a terminal the command: "echo 'password' | sudo apt update" 
looks like working, is that the correct way to prompt sudo commands from 
android (or any other kdeconnect-connected pc)?

Thank you for your support,

Andrea
