I hadn't spotted that I can limit the scope of the NOPASSWD option.  So
in fact it looks like I can edit /etc/sudoers to give my 'joggler' user
'NOPASSWD' access to just the Jivelite/Squeezelite-related scripts and
commands, by referencing specific scripts....

joggler ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /root/squeezelite/bin/j4j_squeezelite.sh

...or specific directories

joggler ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /root/jivelite/bin/

...or a combination of both.

Is this the best way to approach this?  I'll have a user, who is not
root, who is logged in automatically at boot, who is a member of the
sudo group, but who can run only the Jivelite/Squeezelite stuff without
a password.  I'll give it a try this evening, with a view to posting a
trial image for download.
