sudoers
i just installed/configured apache2.0 on my own aix5.3 mini server. i can start/stop apache by root, but i want to start it under my login id(admin) instead.

i need to execute this command:

/usr/bin/sudo /usr/IBM/HTTPServer/bin/apachectl stop/start.

You should use the visudo command to edit /etc/sudoers.

Also, pay close attention to the permissions on the /etc/sudoers file. Read the man page.
