Sudo question

Hi All

I want to grant elevated privs to a user that will be running a script as a background task. It will be launched from an ssh session via an embedded command in its key that just allows that account to run that script.

I'm reading up on sudo and notice that -

Code:
user  ALL=(ALL) ALL

Means that 'user' can execute from ALL terminals, acting as ALL (any) users, and run ALL (any) command.

I don't want anyone to be able to login as this user, (taken care of by the embedded cmd in the key so no terminal required) and I don't want this user to be able to su to anyone else either. I just want it to be able to execute any command.

I'm having trouble finding an example of a sudo line that meets this requirement.

Anyone know the syntax best suited for this?

Thanks in advance

Brad

NAME
ssh-argv0 -- replaces the old ssh command-name as hostname handling SYNOPSIS
hostname | user@hostname [-l login_name] [command] hostname | user@hostname [-afgknqstvxACNTX1246] [-b bind_address] [-c cipher_spec] [-e escape_char] [-i identity_file] [-l login_name] [-m mac_spec] [-o option] [-p port] [-F configfile] [-L port:host:hostport] [-R port:host:hostport] [-D port] [command] DESCRIPTION
ssh-argv0 replaces the old ssh command-name as hostname handling. If you link to this script with a hostname then executing the link is equivalent to having executed ssh with that hostname as an argument. All other arguments are passed to ssh and will be processed normally. OPTIONS
