Thanks,
Hi All,
what user do you want to be able to start MySQL? Just add that
user to your wheel group(be careful though, as that gives that user full
power usually) and change the sudoers file(/etc/sudoers) to reflect
that. Is there a reason why you only want manual startups of MySQL? I
just added the startup script to my /etc/init.d dir as mysql, gave it
execution permissions and did a chkconfig and it always runs at boot.
Cheers.
Mark Sargent.
EDIT: I originally sent this to the OP mistakenly addressing him/her as
Barry. Sorry about that. You could also do like below, from,
http://www.courtesan.com/sudo/man/sudoers.html
Runas_Spec
A Runas_Spec is simply a Runas_List (as defined above) enclosed in a set
of parentheses. If you do not specify a Runas_Spec in the user
specification, a default Runas_Spec of root will be used. A Runas_Spec
sets the default for commands that follow it. What this means is that
for the entry:
dgb boulder = (operator) /bin/ls, /bin/kill, /usr/bin/lprm
The user dgb may run /bin/ls, /bin/kill, and /usr/bin/lprm -- but only
as operator. E.g.,
$ sudo -u operator /bin/ls.
It is also possible to override a Runas_Spec later on in an entry. If we
modify the entry like so:
dgb boulder = (operator) /bin/ls, (root) /bin/kill, /usr/bin/lprm
Then user dgb is now allowed to run /bin/ls as operator, but /bin/kill
and /usr/bin/lprm as root
