 When you use a sudo command normally  the password is saved for 15 minutes, If you want to change sudo remembering time in ubuntu, you need to change the configuration of visudo. This post explain you how to change sudo remembering time in Ubuntu, debian.

To start, open terminal and type the following command:

    It would be beneficial to state the format for the time variable in the Defaults line. I’m running on the assumption that it is in minutes since that’s the most reasonable interval to use for this option.

I tried it and it works with a regular zip file, but if you password-protect the .zip file it does NOT work.

After install as above, run shell script /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/wfica.sh manually and note lib errors still occur. I had the x64 motif loaded but had to manually install the x86 too. Got that from http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=libXm.so.4 Even after that, I still had to do a “yum install alsa-lib.i686 alsa-lib.x86_64″ to resolve any additional libasound.so.2 errors. Once those two lib issues were resolved, Citix Web Interface launched apps fine by telling browser to open launch.ica using /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/wfica.sh. Good luck Ernesto!
