[sudo-users] sudo and variable expantion: HowTo?

[генерал Пурпоз]

Hello sudo-users,

  If I place in the "sudoers" a line like this (with the actual PID
  value at the moment of "visudo"ing):

  mortal   ALL = /bin/kill -HUP 69

  then the "mortal" is able to run the following:
  "sudo kill -HUP $(cat /var/run/ntpd.pid)"

  Obviously this is a no-go hack since I cannot foresee the PID after
  the next reboot...

  I wonder how to tell the sudo to aquire the "$(cat
  /var/run/ntpd.pid)" expantion result on it's "sudoers" rule line?
