I want a group of users on a high performance computing cluster to be able to submit jobs as user fluent using sudo.
I have the following in /etc/sudoers: User_Alias FLUENT_USERS = user1, user2 Cmnd_Alias FLUENT = /usr/local/sge/bin/lx24-amd64/qsub * Defaults>fluent env_keep="SGE_CELL OLDPWD LD_LIBRARY_PATH PATH PWD SGE_ROOT" FLUENT_USERS ALL = (fluent) NOPASSWD: FLUENT Now when say user1 run for example: $sudo -u fluent qsub c.sub The error message is: error: Please set the environment variable SGE_ROOT. Unable to initialize environment because of error: error without diagnosis message Exiting And in user1's environment: ~> echo $SGE_ROOT /usr/local/sge Any idea how I can solve this one?
