[sudo-users] Passing environment variables

[Paul Pianta]

It's ok now - I didn't realise that I needed to run sudo with the '-u
oracle' option :/

Thanks

Subject: [sudo-users] Passing environment variables

Hi All
 
With sudo, I am trying to run a script as another user (a non-root user)
but I am having trouble with the environment variables.
 
Here is what I am using in my sudoers file ...
 
Cmnd_Alias ORACLE_CREATE_DB =
/dp00/u02/app/oracle/local/teamdba/tools/scripts/spbuilder/createDatabas
eBuild.sh
rsoft ALL = (oracle) NOPASSWD: ORACLE_CREATE_DB
 
Here are the permissions on the script ...
 
[root at qcdvcn04 rootasp]# ll
/dp00/u02/app/oracle/local/teamdba/tools/scripts/spbuilder/createDatabas
eBuild.sh
-rwxr-xr-x    1 oracle   dba           468 Dec 18 15:40
/dp00/u02/app/oracle/local/teamdba/tools/scripts/spbuilder/createDatabas
eBuild.sh
 
Hopefully what I have in my sudoers file means that the user 'rsoft' can
run the command above, as the user 'oracle' with no password. Ideally, I
would like the environment variables, when running the script, to be
those of the 'oracle' user, rather than the 'rsoft' user.
 
Is there any way to do this?
 
Thanks
