I Have a application that need to run like root user, but I need that the enviroment, will be of an unprivileged user.

For example:

ipython, start by root (ubuntu) user; but I need that cann't run code with commands using sudo.

So, I believe that, maybe; if I run the job like root, but...HOW, only works for a "x" user.

Any idea?

Thanks

sudo works both ways, root can also act as a regular user sudo -u userName -g groupName I haven't used it but it looks like gksudo has the same functionality for desktop top applications

  • Thanks!... I did it, your answer; but not works... The solution was add; root ALL = NOEXEC: /usr/bin/sudo in visudo.

You could consider making your application a startup service.

Here is a good guide to get you started.

  • IM application and runs as a service; which is launched by the root user. But I do not want my users to gain privileges (eg sudo) to use.
