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?

Jan 24, 2010On my ubuntu I have a command pm-suspend, which puts the computer to sleep. It has to be run with sudo. Since it is inconvenient to be forced to type the password every time I want my computer to sleep, I thought maybe there's a way around it. Naively I thought that if I'd create a script as root, that invokes pm-suspend, and then let anyone execute that script, I could run that script as my own user and then that script would be considered run by root and hence be allowed to run pm-suspend. Obviously that didn't work. The root-check procedure in pm-suspend still found out that the original executor was someone different from root.
Still I think something similar (although slightly more elaborate) should work.I'm thinking about the process that allows the user to mount hard drives for example. Normally root is required, but it is somehow bypassed by the gnome utility mounting.
Ubuntu :: Way To Run CRON Job For Something That 'normal' Users Need To Run As SUDO?
Jun 5, 2010As per subject, what's the best way to run a CRON job for something that "normal" users need to run as SUDO? There is a problem with the internal clock on my PC so at a regular time (every hour or day for example) I want to sync with my Network Time server. I use "sudo ntpdate time.bgr.local" as it is now and have to enter my user's password for it to work.I know root is disabled by default and would like to keep it that way if possible but if I have to enable it and then add it to root's cron list the so be it but would prefer not to.

Aug 5, 2010In Ubuntu, When I type sudo and hit enter, the new command will appear on the command line, instead of simply executing.

Aug 22, 2011I'm trying to allow a specific group on my machine to execute one command with sudo without requiring a password, so what I want to do is add something like this to sudoers:
%groupName ALL = (ALL) NOPASSWD: /bin/bash /path/to/shfile.sh argument1 argument2
argument1 needs to be a url : http://subdomain1.subdomain2.domain.com
argument2 needs to be a path of the form /var/www/demo/SomeFolder/application/config/config.php
How do I put in a regex form that sudoers will understand ? I tried reading the sudoers manual, but it didn't help a lot .

View 6 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Allowing Normal Users To Upgrade The System?
Sep 11, 2010Here's what I want to do: install ubuntu on a laptop and then create a normal user so that the user could install the normal upgrades without using the root account (or getting root privileges via sudo).
I know that this can be done by adding the user to the admin group, but this has (at least) two bad side effects:
1. The user can use sudo to gain root access. (And then do everything: install or remove programs...)
2. The update-manager doesn't seem to appear in the panel. (In stead it opens in the background.)
I could easily make a script that downloads and installs the upgrades automaticly, but I'd like to give the user a chance to choose when to do all this. So that it's not done for example when the user is using slow mobile connection.
OpenSUSE :: Setup The Sudo Insults Command?
Jun 13, 2011How do you setup the sudo command so that it will insult the user if they enter the wrong password? I know it sounds kind of random, but I found that it was an option while looking up something else. I tried adding "Defaults insults" using visudo, and commenting out "Defaults targetpw" and "ALL ALL=(ALL) ALL", and adding my username as "blank888 ALL=(ALL) ALL" but I still can't get it to work right.

General :: Let VNC Users See Normal Non - VNC Session?
May 13, 2010We have just installed VNC. It seems to work fine. If we connect to a remote system using VNC, on say DISPLAY 5, it works and we can run our applications. If another person wants to view this session, they can also connect to DISPLAY 5, and it is fine.
However, if you are just sitting at your own system, without using VNC, and someone connects to your system using VNC to DISPLAY 0, so you can show them what you are doing, they do not see your session, they see a plain startup session, not the session in which you are running your applications... How do you let VNC users see your normal non-VNC session? Have I configured something wrongly? We are new to VNC!
