Hiding sudo from sudo users

I was wondering if there was a way to allow users to run sudo commands
without typing sudo <command> and just type the command instead. I
know it sounds crazy, but here's why.
I need to allow anyone logged in as user techsupp to be able to run
commands in the /usr/etc directory. Currently they are allowed to run
a restart command on another machine, but they don't type sudo
restart. A script was setup that when they type restart, it calls the
/usr/local/bin/sudo then the path to the restart command. The reason
for this is security, we don't want them knowing they are accessing
things any differently than normal.
Is there a way that a techsupp user can type the command:
jbstatus /dev/jb0
without typing sudo jbstatus /dev/jb0
If there isn't any easy way to do this, then I'll have to setup
separate commands for each command in the /usr/etc directory for them
to be able to run. This I can do, but there's over 100 of them and I
really don't have the time.
All this is being done on an IBM RS/6000.
Thanks,
Tony
