If you have sudo rights with the NOPASSWD option set, then you will not be prompted. An example line from out file reads:-
Code:
SECADMIN ALL= NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/mkdir

There may be some resistance to this option though as it means there is no challenge to the command for that user/group.



I hope that this helps,

mkdir(1)							   User Commands							  mkdir(1)

NAME
mkdir - make directories SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/mkdir /usr/bin/mkdir [-m mode] [-p] dir... ksh93 mkdir [-p] [-m mode] dir... DESCRIPTION
/usr/bin/mkdir The mkdir command creates the named directories in mode 777 (possibly altered by the file mode creation mask umask(1)). Standard entries in a directory (for instance, the files ".", for the directory itself, and "..", for its parent) are made automatically. mkdir cannot create these entries by name. Creation of a directory requires write permission in the parent directory. The owner-ID and group-ID of the new directories are set to the process's effective user-ID and group-ID, respectively. mkdir calls the mkdir(2) system call. setgid and mkdir To change the setgid bit on a newly created directory, you must use chmod g+s or chmod g-s after executing mkdir. The setgid bit setting is inherited from the parent directory. ksh93 The mkdir built-in in ksh93 is associated with the /bin and /usr/bin paths. It is invoked when mkdir is executed without a pathname prefix and the pathname search finds a /bin/mkdir or /usr/bin/mkdir executable. mkdir creates one or more directories. By default, the mode of created directories is a=rwx minus the bits set in umask(1). OPTIONS
/usr/bin/mkdir The following options are supported by /usr/bin/mkdir: -m mode This option allows users to specify the mode to be used for new directories. Choices for modes can be found in chmod(1). -p With this option, mkdir creates dir by creating all the non-existing parent directories first. The mode given to intermediate directories is the difference between 777 and the bits set in the file mode creation mask. The difference, however, must be at least 300 (write and execute permission for the user). ksh93 The following options are supported by the mkdir built-in in ksh93: -m mode Set the mode of created directories to mode. mode is symbolic or octal mode as in chmod(1). Relative modes assume an initial --mode=mode mode of a=rwx. -p Create any missing intermediate pathname components. For each dir operand that does not name an existing directory, effects --parents equivalent to those caused by the following command shall occur: mkdir -p -m $(umask -S),u+wx $(dirname dir) && mkdir [-m mode] dir Where the -m mode option represents that option supplied to the original invocation of mkdir, if any. Each dir operand that names an existing directory is ignored without error. OPERANDS
The following operand is supported: dir A path name of a directory to be created. USAGE
See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of mkdir when encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2^31 bytes). EXAMPLES
Example 1 Using mkdir The following example: example% mkdir -p ltr/jd/jan creates the subdirectory structure ltr/jd/jan. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
See environ(5) for descriptions of the following environment variables that affect the execution of mkdir: LANG, LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, LC_MES- SAGES, and NLSPATH. EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: 0 All the specified directories were created successfully or the -p option was specified and all the specified directories now exist. >0 An error occurred. ATTRIBUTES
