Syntax for sudoers file for mv command
Hi,

On one of Solaris 10 server, apache service is running. Due to audit requirement, its error_log grows bigger and we are required to keep that. Sometimes it grows more than 200GB and fills up file-system.
Purpose is, if error_log touches 10GB, apache service should stop, error_log should move to error_log_xxxxxx and spache service start.
Application team wants to use a script, which looks straightforward. Below is part of that script
Code:
       logger -p user.alert "ChkProxyStatus.sh :: proxy_health_warning :: Apache error log was exceeding 10G. Restarting apache on $Server."
       mv $LatestErrorFile ${LatestErrorFile}_`date +%Y%m%d`
       /usr/local/bin/sudo /usr/sbin/svcadm restart svc:/site/network/http:apache2
       sleep  10
       Status=`/usr/bin/svcs |grep http | grep -c 'online'`

error_log is owned by root, so application user (which will run that script via his cron) will not be able to mv that file. If I can give 'sudo mv' to his id with absolute path, this should serve the purpose, I think.
But I am not able to figure out, what should be syntax in /etc/sudoers for mv command mentioned in above script.
Help please.

Thanks

platform::shell

platform::shell(n)					       Tcl Bundled Packages						platform::shell(n)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME

       platform::shell - System identification support code and utilities

SYNOPSIS

       package require platform::shell ?1.1.4?

       platform::shell::generic shell
       platform::shell::identify shell
       platform::shell::platform shell
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       The platform::shell package provides several utility commands useful for the identification of the architecture of a specific Tcl shell.

       This  package  allows the identification of the architecture of a specific Tcl shell different from the shell running the package. The only
       requirement is that the other shell (identified by its path), is actually executable on the current machine.

       While for most platform this means that the architecture of the interrogated shell is identical to the architecture of  the  running  shell
       this  is  not generally true. A counter example are all platforms which have 32 and 64 bit variants and where a 64bit system is able to run
       32bit code. For these running and interrogated shell may have different 32/64 bit settings and thus different identifiers.

       For applications like a code repository it is important to identify the architecture of the shell which will  actually  run  the  installed
       packages, versus the architecture of the shell running the repository software.

COMMANDS

       platform::shell::identify shell
	      This command does the same identification as platform::identify, for the specified Tcl shell, in contrast to the running shell.

       platform::shell::generic shell
	      This command does the same identification as platform::generic, for the specified Tcl shell, in contrast to the running shell.

       platform::shell::platform shell
	      This command returns the contents of tcl_platform(platform) for the specified Tcl shell.
