Try using the absolute path to the script in the sudoers file. Also, the /etc/sudoers file should NOT be edited directly, you should be using the visudo command as root.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jul 25, 2012 at 4:41 AM, Andrew Pattison <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:andrum99@gmail.com" target="_blank">andrum99@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

In this example the user techbnc is allowed to call /usr/sbin/csf without needing a password. What's happening is that normally when sudo is called, it asks for the password and Smokeping has no way to provide that password. By adding the user to the file with NOPASSWD, they are allowed to execute the script without being password prompted and therefore Smokeping will be able to complete the action.<br>

I am trying to set up smokeping with an alert script. The alert script is called like this entry in /etc/smokeping/config.d/Alerts:<br><br>to = |sudo script.py<br><br>When called as simply |script.py this works fine, but with sudo the script does not get called. How can I get this working?<br>
<br>Thanks<span><font color="#888888"><br><br>Andrew.<br>
