I just tested on my HP-UX, doesn't like double quotes...
But this worked:
Code:
ant:/users/jju $ sudo /sbin/init.d/apache stop
ant:/users/jju $ ps -ef|grep apa

ant:/users/jju $ id
uid=6206(jju) gid=150(sei) groups=2(bin),60(oper)

And in sudoers:
Code:
jju ant = NOPASSWD : /sbin/init.d/apache st*

only jju has in .kshrc:
Code:
sudo=/usr/local/bin/sudo -u root

ssh -t should allocate a terminal, allowing it to control terminal characteristics, preventing things from seeing your typing.

That sudo is willing to ask for a password at all without a terminal is surprising.

vbe: I think your final suggestion worked. Prior to you posting the final suggestion, I independently discovered that sudoers doesn't like double-quotes. It was actually kind of annoying, because the syntax error was non-descriptive. It didn't even report the correct line for the error, it said "near line 27" when the double-quotes were on line 29. Line 27 was blank. I mustn't grumble, though.

Corona688: I was also surprised that sudo would ask for a password and echo the input to the screen. It is a terrible and naughty thing to do.
