Help required to setup sudoers file

Hi,

This is my scenario -
There're 7 users who should be able to bring up and bring down the application. The users will basically login with their user IDs, su to a common account and execute the startup/shutdown commands from there. They should not be prompted for the password.

I'm having trouble carrying this out. Whatever I've tried, I'm being prompted to enter the password.

Code:

user_login host_name = (as_user) NOPASSWD: commands

Code:

%group_name host_name = (as_user) NOPASSWD: commands

e.g

Code:

%adm ALL = (ALL) NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown -h now, reboot

This is my sudoers file:

Code:

User_Alias      B24GRP = b24adm

B24GRP  ALL = (b24prd) NOPASSWD : ALL

Is it wrong?

B24GRP looks like group name. should be %B24GRP
Is b24prd priveleged user?

Code:

sudo -u b24prd command

shold work.

The sudoers file was fine. The issue was due to the way 'sudo' was used in the script.

sudoers file now is,

Code:

b24adm ALL = (b24prd) NOPASSWD : ALL

Earlier, my script was:

Code:

su - b24prd <<EOF

. /<command1>

. /<command2>

. /<command3>

EOF

In the above, the script used to halt and prompt me for the password for b24prd.

Now, I've included the commands in a separate command.ksh file and use sudo in the script as:

Code:

sudo -u b24prd -i command.ksh
