Hi Chubler_XL

My initial reaction was sudo as well. However the servers are managed by another datacenter and it is not possible for me to get them to add a sudo command for every time I think up a script.

The idea here is that other users performing testing in this environment can run certain scripts that I provide to them ( say a script to run jra recordings or restart a weblogic server) without knowing what they are running. I would keep providing them new scripts based on their requests. I do not have root access either, I only have access to webuser, while they log in as user.

Hence I need a flexible solution , which does not involve the datacenter getting involved.

lsmsad

lsmsad(8)						      System Manager's Manual							 lsmsad(8)

NAME

       lsmsad - Starts the Storage Administrator (SA) daemon

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/lsmsad

DESCRIPTION

       The SA daemon, lsmsad, is a process required by lsmsa, the SA graphical user interface (GUI). The daemon issues commands and obtains system
       information on behalf of SA.

       The SA daemon runs on a Tru64 UNIX system on which LSM is initialized and running.  The SA client runs on any  machine  that  supports  the
       Java Runtime Environment.

       The SA daemon is automatically started at boot time. Under normal conditions, the daemon does not need to be run manually.

       If SA does not start during the boot process, enter:

       /sbin/init.d/lsmsa stop

       To restart SA, enter:

       /sbin/init.d/lsmsa start

       Only one SA daemon can be running on a system at a given time. If a second SA daemon attempts to start, it will fail.

RESTRICTIONS

       You must be root user to run lsmsad.

FILES

       The script that starts lsmsad at boot time.  The command log file that tracks SA tasks.	The access log file that tracks login to  SA.  The
       server log file that tracks server startup information and server errors.  The log maintenance shell script that saves and  compresses  log
       files.
