Full Discussion: Sudo + Nohup = no password?
Operating Systems Linux Red Hat Sudo + Nohup = no password? Post 302676473 by admin_xor on Tuesday 24th of July 2012 03:57:17 PM

Not being asked for a password could be a result of NOPASSWD option in the /etc/sudoers file.

Can you post the script here? Also, try to use /usr/bin/nohup instead of the shell's built-in nohup. This implementation of nohup sends standard output to nohup.out (in the current working directory, if denied, in $HOME dir) by default and can be redirected like this:
Code:
nohup COMMAND >FILE
