Mar 5, 2010I've just installed Debian on my old iMac G3. The install seemed to go ok but failed to load to the GUI. Thats ok I'll just enter some lines into the xorg.conf and it will be fine, or so I thought. Now at the shell prompt when I type in any sudo command it says: "sudo command not found" Is there an alternate command I can use in this situation.

Mar 11, 2011I've added entries to my Openbox menu labeled Reboot and Shutdown. Problem is, reboot and shutdown h only work as root, and I never login as root. I've tried su-to-root -c reboot, but the menu entries remain unresponsive. I do not have sudo installed because I feel it is a security issue. However, I found that sudo reboot works with the menu entry, but only if my account is set to use sudo without a password in /etc/sudoers. I use tint2 as my panel, but have had no luck with finding a shutdown/reboot button.

View 8 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: How To Use Sudo In A Startup Script File
Sep 29, 2010I am using a headless server with virtualbox installed on it. A second box is a LAMP server from which I have phpvirtualbox installed to give me a remote connection to the headless server. In order to get a connection made between the 2 boxes I need to start a program called vboxwebsrv, this being on the headless box. I therefore need to ssh into the server and startup the program. What I'd like to do is have this program launch on startup, and the folks at phpvirtualbox has a sample script available that will do that. Unfortunately the script uses a su command, not sudo. Since I am using Ubuntu, the su command doesn't work, but using sudo requires a password response. How do I deal with this?
Here's a snippet from the script:
# Function that starts the daemon/service
#
do_start()
{
if [ "$VBPID" != "" ] && [ "$VBPID" -gt 0 ]; then
[code]...
What I currently do is: sudo /usr/bin/vboxwebsrv -b --logfile /dev/null >/dev/null.(The script file sets up the path earlier on).What I don't want to do is have any interaction during startup, and frankly, I can't see how to avoid the password thing.

General :: Execute A Command After Sudo?
May 4, 2011I am working in a CentOS environment with numerous CentOS machines. Currently there are multiple developers that each have their own login/home directory and then for various admin tasks we all share a single super user account.
The problem
I have a number of aliases, variables, functions, and settings that exist in my personal login's .bash_profile. None of these are available in the shared super user's .bash_profile. My current work around is that everytime I sudo in as the super user and I re-execute my .bash_profile from my personal user's home directory. I am not allowed to edit the init stuff for the super user
The Question
Is there any way I can automate my sudo sequence such that it will execute my personal .bash_profile after I've executed sudo without requiring me to edit the super user's bash init stuff?

Oct 16, 2010I was attempting to install the fglrx driver on my new ubuntu insallation, following a guide I found from google. At one point it says I need to login as super user, so I tried and no matter how many times I try it just keeps saying authentication failed. I even tried typing in my password with 1 finger, multiple times, every single time, authentication failed. So I decided to try the sudo command with fdisk -l, worked flawlessly. Tried the su command again, authentication failed, I have no idea what in heck is causing this but it just won't stop happening.

When the command is typed a, all the programs are closed and proceeds to shut down. But after some time, screen gets stuck(plymouth animation stops moving). But the computer is still working.
