I run ubuntu-12.04 desktop x86_64. I have a simple script that needs to be accessible from the Desktop and run as root:
$ cat ~/Desktop/flash.sh
#!/bin/bash -
cd ~/tools
sudo ~/tools/fastboot-HW.sh
I've read how to run sudo command with no password and sudoers simple explanation and safely execute custom script-parts as sudo (on serverfault) also. I modified my /etc/sudoers as follows:
$ sudo cat sudoers
Defaults env_reset
Defaults secure_path="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"
# User privilege specification
root ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
root ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/home/john/Desktop/flash.sh
john ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/home/john/Desktop/flash.sh
root ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/home/john/tools/fastboot-HW.sh
john ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/home/john/tools/fastboot-HW-sh
My sudo-capable user is john. He is member of group:
john adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare
My scripts are fully executable:
$ ls -al ~/Desktop/
-rwxr-xr-x 1 john john 129 Feb 13 17:16 flash.sh
$ ls -al ~/tools/
-rwxrwxr-x 1 john john 17251 Feb 13 17:15 fastboot-HW.sh
When double-clicking on flash.sh icon on my desktop, and selecting "run in terminal", system still prompts for a passwd. John's passwd is not empty, I'd like to keep it not empty. I also tried to push my 2 scripts to /usr/local/bin and adapt /etc/sudoers accordingly, but no luck. What I missed must be really obvious, but I cannot find it.
