Full Discussion: setup sudo for cmd exec w/o password
Operating Systems Linux Red Hat setup sudo for cmd exec w/o password Post 302527314 by ciupinet on Friday 3rd of June 2011 04:37:00 AM

You shouldn't use "-i" as parameter to sudo, because this flag instructs sudo to run the command as a login shell like this:
Code:
/bin/bash -c /bin/kill 1234

instead of
Code:
/bin/kill 1234

and you only gave sudo permissions to /bin/kill, not to /bin/bash.

So you should run your sudo command as follows, without the "-i":
Code:
sudo -u user2 /bin/kill -15 1234

Let us know how it works for you.
