The problem I’m having is, I want the script to run as if root is running it (because I don’t want to type my sudo password) I found a few places that I should be able to do sudo chown root.root and sudo chmod 4755 and when I run it, it should run as root. But it’s not… The script looks good to me.
Which is the only user allowed to execute the script?
You can make user1 the only user who is allowed to execute the script by making it the owner of the file or leave root as owner and group, set the simple access permissions ( chmod) to 770 and add user1 with ACLs ( setfacl ). user1 can only be root. You then also don’t need to put -u root to your sudo command. The % means the user group.
