Re: [Fab-user] Cached sudo pass? (Not in fabfile, but only requested once?)

[Jeff Forcier]

Actually, yes, that's right - if it is entered by hand once, it is
cached. I may have misread what SL wanted - the -I flag is mostly
useful for when you want to ensure you prime it up front instead of
waiting to be prompted. This is especially good for parallel runs when
you *cannot* be prompted.
