Is it possible to assign a non-root user, Exceed onDemand administrative privileges for command line administration?

LAST MODIFIED DATE: August 19, 2008

VERSION: This applies to Exceed onDemand version 6.0 and higher.

DISCUSSION:

There is a script called "setperms" in the /bin directory of the Exceed onDemand install.

You can use this script to assign a specific UNIX group to have Exceed onDemand administrative privileges.

Simply create a new group, add this user to the group and assign this group through the "setperms" script.

As per the script:

"
setperms - Exceed onDemand Server 6

Exceed onDemand Server can be configured so that all members of a given UNIX group can start and stop the server and perform administrative tasks at the command line.

User group that can administer Exceed onDemand Server [Enter to skip]:
"

You should first stop the Exceed onDemand server as root (/bin/eodstop).
Then execute the "setperms" script as root.
