How to run root privileged Linux command as normal user via shell shell

Hi All,
I want to run root privileged Linux command through shell script as normal user say tomcat. I used sudo option. But it prompts the user's
(tomcat) password.

Is there any way to do this without typing user's password

Yes. If you configure sudo correctly then you can run commands without being prompted for a password. There's another thread on linuxquestions which runs through this -> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...r-sudo-442808/
