Help with sudo in shell scripts
Post 302239422 by fimblo on Tuesday 23rd of September 2008 03:38:26 PM

You can do this without having to do the sudo bit, it can be a bit tricky and the man page is a pain to read...
Instead, create some ssh-keys for your user on xyz1. copy the public key to the target user's .ssh directory in in home dir, into the file authorized_keys.
Now ssh as the user on xyz1 using the shiny new private key to xyz and run the script:
ssh -i /path/to/shiny/new/priv_key theotheruser@xyz "/path/to/your/script.sh"
Hope this helps a bit.
Another thing- it will make it easier if you could be a little less cryptic in your question- instead of hosts xyz and xyz1, users user and id you could just give them some names:
I have a script evilscript.sh accessable by eviluser on machine avalon. I have another user called bob on avalon as well. The user bob exists on machine houston.
I want my user bob on houston to log onto avalon then, using sudo, run script evilscript.sh as user eviluser.
makes it a bit easier for people to help you.

uudemon
uudemon(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual uudemon(4) NAME
uudemon.admin, uudemon.cleanu, uudemon.hour, uudemon.poll - Administrative shell scripts for polling remote systems, cleaning up spool directories, reporting status to the system administrator, and routine invocations of the uuxqt and uusched daemons SYNOPSIS
These shell scripts reside in the following directory: /usr/lib/uucp DESCRIPTION
All the scripts can be run from the command line or can be run automatically by the cron daemon. To automatically run the scripts, remove the comment character (#) from the beginning of the relevant line in the /var/spool/cron/crontabs/uucp file. This script reports status to the system administrator. It issues the uustat command to find out the status of uucp jobs. It mails the results to the uucp login ID. The script may be modified to send mail to any login ID such as the uucp administrative login ID (uucpa) or root. This script cleans up the /var/spool/uucp and /var/spool/uucppublic directories by running the uucleanup command. The uucleanup com- mand is run with the following parameters: -C7, -D7, X2, -o2, -W1. This script runs the uusched and uuxqt daemons in the background. This script polls the systems listed in the /usr/lib/uucp/Poll file. The uudemon.poll script should be scheduled before the uudemon.hour script. This allows uudemon.poll to create any command files before cron runs the uudemon.hour script. FILES
Contains the uudemon.admin, uudemon.cleanu, uudemon.hour and uudemon.poll files. Contains the uucp file. RELATED INFORMATION
Commands: cron(8), uucleanup(8), uusched(8), uuxqt(1) Files: /usr/lib/uucp delim off uudemon(4)
