Or you could move that command to another directory. ;)

I completely agree. But if I want someone to be able to execute 1000
comands
located under some directory, and prevent him from doing just one
command in
the same directory, the only way to do it is writing the 1000 commands
one
by one in sudoers. it shouldn't be like that.
thanks
