Add sudo executable commands

UNIX AIX

Guy's

I have sudo already installed in AIX , just I want to know how can I add for example the following commands to be executed by sudo by (appuser)..

shutdown
/usr/startapp.sh
/usr/stopapp.sh

Add a line like the following to your sudoers file using visudo:

appuser ALL = (ALL) shutdown, /usr/startapp.sh, /usr/stopapp.sh

The syntax is always:

user host = (other) [option] command

where

  • user is the user that should be allowed to run these commands
  • host is the host where this should be allowed, in case you use the same sudoers file on multiple hosts. ALL means any host
  • other is the user that these commands may be run as. So if you want to allow an user to run a program as www-data, put that name there. ALL means any user.
  • option is a modifier, most common is NOPASSWD to disable asking for passwords. See the sudoers man page for more details
  • command is a comma-separated list of commands, as detailed as you like, of programs this user may run.

See the sudoers man page for more details

Thanks for your replay I configured it by sudo :b:...

Another thing and before I do that , I'm planning to apply this command by sudo errclear 0

is it possible to make an errclear.sh then I'll type inside it errclear 0
is it good way to mentioned this file \root\errclear.sh in sudo to be executable or can I execute this direct command errclear 0....

And can you please give me the software of sudo !

In the sudoers file you can specify commands to and level of detail you want, eg. the entry

  • mount would allow any command named such, no matter where
  • /sbin/mount would only allow that command when specified with the complete path
  • /sbin/mount -t nfs 1.2.3.4:/export /import would only allow this exact command, and no derivation from it

What do you mean by that? According to your first post, you've already got it installed.

The official site (as far as I can see) is here. The Download page lists 3 different sites holding packages for AIX, including one at IBM itself.
