I tried to replicate the functionality of this part of the instructions: "sudo -u squeezeboxserver sudo /sbin/shutdown -k -h now" with this: "sudo testsudo.sh"
Code: -------------------- #!/bin/bash USER="squeezeboxserver" HOST=`hostname -s` if [ "$EUID" -ne 0 ]; then echo "Please run this command as 'sudo $0'. Exit" exit 0 fi /usr/bin/wall <<END; ** Testing ${USER}'s ability to run privileged commands on $HOST ** You may now see a message announcing immediate shutdown. This is only a test. Host $HOST WILL NOT really shutdown. END sleep 5; # reset timestamp sudo -k; # send a wrong passwd from stdin if asked for it => OK = 0 echo "" | sudo -S -u $USER sudo -S /sbin/shutdown -k now > /dev/null 2>&1 && OK=1 || OK=0; if [ "$OK" -eq 1 ]; then echo -e "\nSuccess!\n"; else echo -e "\nThere was a boo-boo.\n"; fi -------------------- Seems to work for me (debian, OS X) Is it useful to you ? NB: I switched to using bash only because I had trouble with "echo -e" on OSX using sh. Remove the -e and sh will do nicely. -- epoch1970 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48521 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
