how to run script using sudo

Hi,

I have a problem while running my personnel script .

I am using Ubuntu linux and login as user "Bargi". I have run the autoreconf -i which create a

script "ABC" ...

When I run this by simple typing it gives me error that permission denied and none of files are created.

Then I used sudo ABC
But this give error that ABC command not found.

This is part of a project and after running this make files are created.

I think that sudo help in only running predefined commands.

Is there a way to run the custom commands.....

Thanks'

Probably because "su" doesn't have "." in the path - so if you do "sudo ./ABC" it will work - I know for sure that sudo itself doesn't have any particular [generic] rules about what you can and can't do with it - it does have a way that you can set up a list of commands you can (or can't) execute and only what is [or isn't] in the list is OK. This is part of the sudoers file, if I remember correctly.

Hi Matsp,

Thanks for your help......

But it not working....

The file ABC is not a executable file.

You can say that it is some kind of configuration file........and it is created when I source a

special file BUILD in our project directory.......


can u tell me to run this as simple sudo ABC ?????????

Thanks

You can't run anything non-executable with sudo - just like you can't run it WITHOUT sudo. You need to give sudo something executable to do.
