ok, then it’s better to leave the system asking for a password as is.

However, if there is some reason that you really cannot do that (I can’t imagine why, but I don’t know)
The reason was to avoid getting the password dialogue each and every time.

The shell script is part of an AppleScript, so as it is now I can’t use it because I don’t know how to write the sudo in it:
If I write sudo do shell script "echo " & (quoted form of ExportList) & "|tr -d \"\\t\"|/usr/local/bin/dayone/dayone new"
the process will stop.
As others have answered, the proper way to do it is to call the shell script "with administrator privileges”.
However, if there is some reason that you really cannot do that (I can’t imagine why, but I don’t know), then there is a way that you can set your system to allow sudo without a password for a particular user. This is NOT recommended for security reasons, but it’s worth knowing about:
locate the sudoers file (/etc/sudoers)
open it with visudo (this requires knowing the vi editing program). If you open it with any other editor, you will mess up it’s permissions, so don’t.
