Run a command elevated (sudo) ?

[dimitrisfasoulas]

Is it possible to invoke a script with sudo ?

I have a script that restarts a service. The script is added in sudoers: myusername ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /home/myusername/script.sh and I'm able to invoke it with sudo without requiring password. But if I added to the listener like so:

# Screenlock
listener {
    # HYPRLOCK TIMEOUT
    timeout = 600
    # HYPRLOCK ONTIMEOUT
    on-timeout = hyprlock
    on-resume = sudo -u myusername /home/myusername/script.sh ; 
}

I get a prompt to provide sudo password.

echo [PASSWORD] | sudo -S <cmd>?

aaah ... that might work, but I think I prefer typing the password each time than hardcoding it to a script :)

pkexec <cmd>

Hey dimitrisfasoulas!

Add the script or service to /etc/sudoers using visudo. Or add a config file to /etc/sudoers.d

Format like this:

yourusername ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /home/yourusername/script.sh

Thnx simonm but if you look at my original post I've already added the script to sudoers:

Yes. My bad. Sorry about that
