Yeah, if you provide arguments for a particular sudo command to run, it can run only with those arguments. So it probably works just to do "sudo su - weblogic" but any additional arguments make a different command. Add a star to let the command be run with an argument.

But this isn't what you really want. What you really want is sudo configured to run the command as weblogic and bypass su altogether:

Code:
#!/bin/sh
exec sudo -u weblogic -H "$@"

And your sudoers file like:
Code:
ALL    ALL = (weblogic) NOPASSWD: /opt/weblogic/whateverscript.sh

ka-forwarder

KA-FORWARDER(8) 					       AFS Command Reference						   KA-FORWARDER(8)

NAME

       ka-forwarder - Forward AFS Authentication Server requests to another server

SYNOPSIS

       ka-forwarder [-p <port>] <server>[/<port>] [...]

DESCRIPTION

       ka-forwarder listens for requests for an AFS Authentication Server and forwards them to a remove fakeka server.	fakeka is a server that
       answers AFS Authentication Server protocol requests using a regular Kerberos KDC and is provided with some Kerberos 5 implementations.
       fakeka has to run on the same host as the Kerberos KDC, however, and AFS clients send all native AFS authentication requests to the AFS
       database servers.  If you don't want to run your Kerberos KDCs and your AFS database servers on the same host, run ka-forwarder on the AFS
       database servers and point it to fakeka running on the Kerberos KDCs.

       ka-forwarder takes one or more servers to which to forward the requests.  The default port on the remote server to which to forward the
       command is 7004, but a different port can be specified by following the server name with a slash ("/") and the port number.  If multiple
       servers are given, ka-forwarder will send queries to each server in turn in a round-robin fashion.

CAUTIONS

       Due to the way that ka-forwarder distinguishes from client requests and server responses, any messages from one of the servers to which ka-
       forwarder is forwarding will be considered a reply rather than a command and will not be forwarded.  This means that the servers running
       fakeka will not be able to use native AFS authentication requests and rely on ka-forwarder to send the requests to the right server.

       ka-forwarder does not background itself.  It should either be run in the background via the shell, or run via the Basic OverSeer Server
       (see bosserver(8)).

OPTIONS

       -p <port>
	   By default, ka-forwarder listens to the standard AFS Authentication Server port (7004).  To listen to a different port, specify it with
	   the -p option.

EXAMPLES

       Forward AFS Authentication Server requests to the fakeka servers on kdc1.example.com and kdc2.example.com:

	   % ka-forwarder kdc1.example.com kdc2.example.com &

       Note the "&" to tell the shell to run this command in the background.

PRIVILEGE REQUIRED

       ka-forwarder only has to listen to port 7004 and therefore does not require any special privileges unless a privileged port is specified
       with the -p option.
