[sudo-users] Please help me sudo

[Kumar, Gyan]

Hi ,
 My requirement is take backup as sudo admin.
  

      a.  apsr8007 machine.

     [gkuma14 at apsr8007 gyan]$ ssh -t gkuma14 at cwsapp02.phs.com 'sudo -u
wladmin -s -H ;cd /home/stage/doamins/cw_stage1 '
      
 after executing now i am in wladmin user,

       
       [wladmin at cwsapp02 gyan]$ pwd
       /home/gyan

 
    but cd /home/stage/doamins/cw_stage1 'is not working 
 

   
      
      b. now i want to connect cwsapp02 machine(Three
requirement).Because here  20 machine(cwsapp03,05...20)
          It is very diffcult to take backup for logfile.Taking backup
we have to do "sudo -u wladmin -s -H' and go to
          the perticular path cd /home/stage/domains/cw_stage1/ 
       
              Three steps:

                      1> sudo -u wladmin -s -H                =  do the
sudo
                      2> cd /home/stage/domains/cw_stage1/    =  go to
the pertucular path
                      3> mv log logs.241209                   =  Take
backup

Thanks, 
Gyan

You need to tell ssh to allocate a pty for the command.  E.g.

    ssh -tt gkuma14 at cwr.uuu.com 'sudo -u wladmin -s -H'

That should do the trick.
