Re: stop a service as a non root user

Hi Mihamina,

That demands root password. It does not resolve the problem.

Best,

Hi folks,

We run monit as root which is specially important for Apache service.

Monit controls tomcat servers which run under a different user.

As a non root user I want to to be able to run 'monit tomcat stop' so that I can manage the service the way I would do without monit.

We can issue "service tomcat stop" but of course monit restarts it again.

AFAIK,

$ su - $AN_USER $A_COMMAND would do it
