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

shells

shells(4)							   File Formats 							 shells(4)

NAME

       shells - shell database

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/shells

DESCRIPTION

       The shells file contains a list of the shells on the system. Applications use this file to determine whether a shell is valid. See getuser-
       shell(3C). For each shell a single line should be present, consisting of the shell's path, relative to root.

       A hash mark (#) indicates the beginning of a comment; subsequent characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by  the  routines
       which search the file. Blank lines are also ignored.

       The  following  default	shells are used by utilities: /bin/bash, /bin/csh, /bin/jsh, /bin/ksh, /bin/pfcsh, /bin/pfksh, /bin/pfsh, /bin/sh,
       /bin/tcsh,  /bin/zsh,  /sbin/jsh,  /sbin/sh,  /usr/bin/bash,  /usr/bin/csh,  /usr/bin/jsh,  /usr/bin/ksh,  /usr/bin/pfcsh,  /usr/bin/pfksh,
       /usr/bin/pfsh, and /usr/bin/sh, /usr/bin/tcsh, /usr/bin/zsh. Note that /etc/shells overrides the default list.

       Invalid shells in /etc/shells may cause unexpected behavior (such as being unable to log in by way of ftp(1)).

FILES

       /etc/shells	       lists shells on system
