SOLVED:Testing privileges
Hi all,
Here I report the solution I found.
My goal was to test some user privileges and be sure that they can't start/stop/restart some services. My problem was that running the test for an unauthorized user I got back a message on the console, as consequences the script got stuck until I press enter to get the prompt back.
The solution (not the best but it works) is to temporary redirect (for the test time) all the logs messages, that refers to the services you're testing, to a log file.
I did it with rsyslog and filtering by program name, here the link:
Filtering by program name - rsyslog wiki
In this way the error goes to the file and it does not block the console
Hope this help
Cheers
