Error runing a script as superuser
My first post:
in /etc/rc2.d i have a startup script: Script1.
if you run #>scirpt1 stop/start from any user other than root you will get u must be supper user to run this script. eventhough the rights are 777.
Question: how can i get my user_a be able to run this script to stop and start it without giving him the root password.

thanks in advance.

Get the freeware program called sudo. We have a lot of threads on sudo. Use our search function to find them for more info.

Thanks a lot for your answer. But the problem is that our customer (the owner of the machine) does not allow us to install any freeware of extra tools for that. Can this be done via unix commands or script?
Meanwhile i will have a look about sudo for my records.
Thanks again
