Sudo syntax
Anyone know of a way shorten a Cmnd_Alias when multiple similar commands are used? For example, I need to grant access to /usr/bin/systemctl start <service>, /usr/bin/systemctl stop <service>, /usr/bin/systemctl restart <service>, and /usr/bin/systemctl status <service>. I think there is a way to do something like /usr/bin/systemctl [start|stop|restart|status] <service>, but I'm not sure what the syntax would be.

I don't think you can do that, command aliases are not regular expressions, you get wildcards at best.
