Hello All,

I know the Title is pretty self explanatory but here we go...

I know I can add to sudoers the ability for any specific user, or all users, to be able to run a command that needs higher privileges.
But is there anyway to be a little more specific? I looked through the Man Pages for sudoers but couldn't find it.

Basically I want to allow any user to be able to kill this one specific process. I couldn't really figure out how this could be done since the PID will/could be different at anytime.

Any suggestions how this may be achieved (if possible) would be great...

Thanks in Advance,
Matt

Thanks Again,

You're quite welcome, Matt!

Be obliged if you'd mark the thread [SOLVED].

Cheers!

I was about to mark solved yesterday while I was writing this reply, but then I guess I got distracted by something and never hit "Post Quick Reply"...

While I was trying different things out yesterday I came accross "killall" which will do exactly what I want it to.
All that I needed to do is specify what is in the "Command Name" section of, for example the "ps -ef" command...

Seems to do what I need... i.e. kill process based on the "command name".


Thanks,
Matt
