Editing sudoers

[Neminath]

I have a perl script which executes some privileged commands.
So use sudo for that but the script has become interactive by asking for sudo password each time; which i do not want.

I found one way to avoid this is editing sudoers file giving permission for the invoking user to execute it as root. I tried doing this by entering into that still things are not working.

My sudoers file currently reads :

# /etc/sudoers
#
# This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root.
#
# See the man page for details on how to write a sudoers file.
# Host alias specification

# User alias specification

# Cmnd alias specification

# Defaults

Defaults !lecture,tty_tickets,!fqdn

# User privilege specification
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
neminath ALL=(ALL) ALL

# Members of the admin group may gain root privileges
%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL
%neminath ALL=(ALL) ALL



how do i make it work any changes to my file ?

On your terminal:


sudo visudo

That's the proper way to edit and save changes to your sudoer file.

using the same only i could add the marked portion
still not working

# /etc/sudoers
#
# This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root.
#
# See the man page for details on how to write a sudoers file.
# Host alias specification

# User alias specification

# Cmnd alias specification

# Defaults

Defaults !lecture,tty_tickets,!fqdn

# User privilege specification
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
neminath ALL=(ALL) ALL

# Members of the admin group may gain root privileges
%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL
%neminath ALL=(ALL) ALL

Try to comment this part:

%neminath ALL=(ALL) ALL

on this:


# Members of the admin group may gain root privileges
%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL
#%neminath ALL=(ALL) ALL
