Write a shell script that's executable only by root and let them execute
the shell script

Vi /usr/local/bin/some_script
-------------
#!/bin/ksh

/usr/bin/cd /usr/app
/usr/app/app stop
-------------

Chmod 700 /usr/local/bin/some_script
Chown root:sys /usr/local/bin/some_script


(ignore the pervasive outlook capatilization)

Subject: parse error on command


I would like the user bob to run the following command as root.
 
(/usr/bin/cd /usr/app;/usr/app/app stop)
 
Every attemp at setting up my sudoers file for this command comes up
with a parse error. Is this even possible in sudo?
 
My sudoers line looks something like this
 
bob   bobserver = (root) (/usr/bin/cd /usr/app;/usr/app/app stop)
 
I have tried escaping out "(", ";", and ")" to no avail.
 
Thanks in advance
NP
