Possibility to save password and close automatically #63

Open pflavio opened 1 month ago

pflavio commented 1 month ago

Would it be possible to integrate an option to either save your password or always run as sudo and in addition to close the terminal automatically after updating if nothing went wrong? So basically if I chose to click "Update System" it would do exactly that without another human intervention needed. So I'm not asking for auto updates without even looking at them but when I do and when I clock update it should just run along.

What I can do for you is add the possibility to run in the background after asking for a password. And the possibility to auto-close after the update.

It should be very obvious, the security vulnerabilities, that come with saving a password or running in sudo mode all the time.

That would be great, thanks! Yeah I know it is but lets say the user is aware and cosciously selects this option if anything borks during the update it's basically their fault (I mean it can happen during a regular update via terminal as well).
