Sudo reads password from a .cfg file
cleanwork /saswork removes sas orphanded processes in the saswork directory. Subdirectories under sasem are sas94, sas92 and sasworks .

I am getting the following error messages:
1.
'/usr/bin/sudo -S apt-get update <~/opt/SiM/pos/ps/db_auth.cfg /sasem/sas92/sashome/sasfoundation/9.2/utilities/bin/cleanwork /sasworks'

line 69 '/usr/bin/sudo -S apt-get update <~/opt/SiM/pos/db_auth.cfg /sasem/sas92/sashome/sasfoundation/9.2/utilities/bin/cleanwork /sasworks: A file or directory in path does not exist

2.
'/usr/bin/sudo -S apt-get update <~/opt/SiM/pos/db_auth.cfg /sasem/sas94/sashome/sasfoundation/9.4/utilities/bin/cleanwork /sasworks'


line 76 '/usr/bin/sudo -S apt-get update <~/opt/SiM/pos/db_auth.cfg /sasem/sas94/sashome/sasfoundation/9.4/utilities/bin/cleanwork /sasworks: A file or directory in path does not exist


3.
-S apt-get update is not reading in the password from the db_auth.cfg file.

4.
How the sudo -S apt-get update <~/opt/SiM/pos/db_auth.cfg syntax works is when the sudo command prompts for a password, the password is read from db_auth.cfg.

5.
db_auth.cfg contents are as following (encrypt the password) :
DB_PASSWD="Swxftyi"
DB_PASSWORD=$(eval echo ${DB_PASSWD} | base64


6.
Code:
db_auth.cfg
DB_PASSWD="Swxftyi"
DB_PASSWORD=$(eval echo ${DB_PASSWD} | base64

7.
Code:
function cleanwork 
{
 set -x
    '/usr/bin/sudo  -S apt-get update <~/opt/SiM/pos/db_auth.cfg     /sasem/sas92/sashome/sasfoundation/9.2/utilities/bin/cleanwork /sasworks'
set +x
}

function cleanwork94
{
 set -x
    '/usr/bin/sudo  -S apt-get update <~/opt/SiM/pos/db_auth.cfg     /sasem/sas94/sashome/sasfoundation/9.4/utilities/bin/cleanwork  /sasworks'
set +x
}

./cleanwork

./cleanwork94

NAME

       add-apt-repository - Adds a repository into the /etc/apt/sources.list or /etc/apt/sources.list.d or removes an existing one

SYNOPSIS

       add-apt-repository [OPTIONS] REPOSITORY

DESCRIPTION

       add-apt-repository  is a script which adds an external APT repository to either /etc/apt/sources.list or a file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
       or removes an already existing repository.

       The options supported by add-apt-repository are:

       -h, --help Show help message and exit

       -r, --remove Remove the specified repository

       -y, --yes Assume yes to all queries

       -k, --keyserver Use a custom keyserver URL instead of the default

REPOSITORY STRING

       REPOSITORY can be either a line that can be added directly to sources.list(5), or in the form  ppa:<user>/<ppa-name>  for  adding  Personal
       Package Archives.

       In the first form, REPOSITORY will just be appended to /etc/apt/sources.list.

       In  the	second	form,  ppa:<user>/<ppa-name>  will  be	expanded  to  the  full  deb  line  of	the  PPA  and added into a new file in the
       /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory.  The GPG public key of the newly added PPA will also be downloaded and added to apt's keyring.
