Questions about fast user switching

I have using Panther for two weeks and one of the most interesting new features is fast user switching, you can open toast in one session and write a cd and in another session you can open toast and burn a dvd to another writer at the same time.

I found this trick to fast switch betwen users in macosxhints:


#!/bin/sh
if [[ -z $1 ]]; then
# robg note: Please enter the next two lines as one without
# any spaces between the "/" and the "R"
/System/Library/CoreServices/Menu\ Extras/User.menu/Contents/Resources/CGSession -suspend
else
USERID=`id -u $1`;
if [[ -z $USERID ]]; then
exit -1;
fi;
# robg note: Please enter the next two lines as one without
# any spaces between the "/" and the "R"
/System/Library/CoreServices/Menu\ Extras/User.menu/Contents/Resources/CGSession -switchToUserID $USERID
fi;

But this script open a dialog for the password.

---?Anyone knows how to put the password in the command, and not need to write manually the password in the dialog?.

---?Anyone knows how interact from one session to another f.e. open documents in other session, or applescript applications of other session ...(applescript, or shell)?.
