Full Discussion: Setup SUDO For a User on Linux Server
Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Setup SUDO For a User on Linux Server Post 302439779 by Ikon on Friday 23rd of July 2010 03:38:34 PM

What I would do is write a script that displays the log how you want it then add the following to sudoers.

Code:
Cmnd_Alias     MYSCRIPTS=/path/to/script/myscriptname, /path/to/another/script/myotherscript

john    ALL=(ALL) MYSCRIPTS
matt    ALL=(ALL) MYSCRIPTS

The users would have to use the following command then enter their password:

Code:
# sudo /path/to/script/myscriptname

Make sure the users DON'T have write access to the script or they can edit the script and put what ever they want in it.

tcl_allowexceptions

Tcl_AllowExceptions(3)					      Tcl Library Procedures					    Tcl_AllowExceptions(3)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME

       Tcl_AllowExceptions - allow all exceptions in next script evaluation

SYNOPSIS

       #include <tcl.h>

       Tcl_AllowExceptions(interp)

ARGUMENTS

       Tcl_Interp *interp (in)		Interpreter in which script will be evaluated.
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       If  a  script is evaluated at top-level (i.e. no other scripts are pending evaluation when the script is invoked), and if the script termi-
       nates with a completion code other than TCL_OK, TCL_ERROR or TCL_RETURN, then Tcl normally converts this into a TCL_ERROR  return  with	an
       appropriate  message.  The particular script evaluation procedures of Tcl that act in the manner are Tcl_EvalObjEx, Tcl_EvalObjv, Tcl_Eval,
       Tcl_EvalEx, Tcl_GlobalEval, Tcl_GlobalEvalObj, Tcl_VarEval and Tcl_VarEvalVA.

       However, if Tcl_AllowExceptions is invoked immediately before calling one of those a procedures, then arbitrary completion codes  are  per-
       mitted from the script, and they are returned without modification.  This is useful in cases where the caller can deal with exceptions such
       as TCL_BREAK or TCL_CONTINUE in a meaningful way.

KEYWORDS

       continue, break, exception, interpreter
