sudo for permission kill -HUP
Hi,

I'm trying to provide "/usr/bin/kill -HUP" command to one of the user using sudo file. I have configured sudo as following:

Code:
$cat /etc/sudoers
User_Alias AA=conadmin
Cmnd_Alias KILL1=/usr/bin/kill -HUPAA  ALL=NOPASSWD:KILL1

When I login as the user and execute 'sudo -l' command, it is showing errors and the user is saying it is prompting for password. Any idea how kill -HUP can be configured in sudo?

a) Don't edit the sudoers file directly, use the visudo command instead, as it does a syntax check before saving.
b) Remove those aliases, and add the line
Code:
conadmin ALL = (ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/kill -HUP [0-9]*
