Be very very careful with this. It can easily leave you wide open to a hack.

Assuming you do really mean a ruby script, and nothing in your Rails app,
you can set the setuid bit with chmod and chown the script to root. When it
executes, it will execute with root persmissions.

Given you've not been able to find this information yourself, I'd again
caution you not to do this.

[Rails] ruby edit sudo file

2013-12-22 Thread saravanan p 
Hello friends

I am trying to edit apache2 https.config file which require sudo permission 
through my ruby scripting.

File.open(local_filename, 'a') { |f| f.write(doc) }

I can open and edit normal file which doesn't require sudo permission.
I am searching around two hours but still not find any solution, Can anyone 
suggest any idea or any links? 

Thanks

Many thanks to you both - indeed, I was being a muppet, and it's exactly 
as you suspected, namely I'd forgotten to copy across a file.  Grep'ing 
for the file name helped me track it down.  Thanks again and Merry 
Christmas!
