How to sudo as another user, without specifying the username
- by Pedro
So I'm currently trying to create a sudoers file, but I ran into something I can't figure out.
The end result I'm looking for is that I want users to be able to do something like:
sudo /usr/sbin/script.pl
But, instead of running as root, I'd like the script to run as "other_user".
I looked into the sudoers file, and I tried adding a line like:
pedro ALL = (other_user) /usr/sbin/script.pl
But that only works if I specify the user by doing sudo -u other_user /usr/sbin/script.
Is there an (easy) way to have the script run as a specific user, without having to specify it in the command line?
