execute bash script with new terminal without give the password ...

I try to execute this script:

Code:

#!/bin/sh

lxterm -e "watch -d ifconfig eth0"

1.The problem when start the new lxterm this need the su password.

I try with visudo to edit :

Code:

ALL=(usertest) NOPASSWD: /home/usertest/watch_ifconf.sh

result is :

Code:

sh: 1: ifconfig: not found

2.I want to use many terminals in same desktop and need to see all.
How can I do ?
Thank's . Regards.

The full path to ifconfig should help you out

Code:

lxterm -e "watch -d /sbin/ifconfig eth0"

And you shouldn't need root to execute that. You would only require root if you wanted to change something like the IP/Netmask or State ( UP/DOWN )

Rather than starting multiple terminals and arranging, something I use which may or may not suit your needs is Terminator

With a little work you can setup profiles. Allowing the start of multiple terminal sessions each automatically executing commands/scripts all in one Window with multiple panes.
