MacPorts shell mode

[-dan d.]

I make an "mp" alias of the below which allows doing a port command without
repeated sudo inputs.  In effect it puts your pasword into sudo for you:

echo your-password | /usr/bin/sudo -S port $1 $2 $3 $4 $5

But once in that mode, I typed selfupdate and was exited from the the mode after completion! Could not run upgrade outdated in the wake? In that case, what?s the use of such a shell mode ?
