Would the following work, Corona688?
$ADMINS ALL = NOPASSWD: LOCATE
How are you deploying this scripted solution?
Typically, you do not enter "sudo" in a script, as it will require someone enter the password of an administrator. If I'm creating a script like this, I leave off the "sudo" part and just have the basic commands in it.
If I run the script in Terminal.app, I will then use the "sudo" command to run the script, thereby granting my admin access to all the commands in the script. So, script named "defaultchanger.sh" would be run by issuing the command "sudo defaultchanger.sh"
If you are deploying the script remotely, then the deployment solution will likely have a mechanism that will allow it to be run with elevated privileges. Again. No "sudo" in the script would be required.
Good luck!

fence_xenapi
FENCE_AGENT(8) System Manager's Manual FENCE_AGENT(8)
NAME
fence_xenapi - XenAPI based fencing for the Citrix XenServer virtual machines.
DESCRIPTION
fence_cxs is an I/O Fencing agent used on Citrix XenServer hosts. It uses the XenAPI, supplied by Citrix, to establish an XML-RPC sesssion
to a XenServer host. Once the session is established, further XML-RPC commands are issued in order to switch on, switch off, restart and
query the status of virtual machines running on the host.
fence_xenapi accepts options on the command line as well as from stdin. Fenced sends parameters through stdin when it execs the agent.
fence_xenapi can be run by itself with command line options. This is useful for testing and for turning outlets on or off from scripts.
