Question:

I need to restart the nginx services installed via root using my user-id ie TAG1 without the help of sudo. Now we are using the below command to restart the Services

**COmmand : sudo /usr/bin/systemctl restart nginx** So please provide us with some inputs how to restart nginx services using a newid without using SUDO permissions.

<strong>Answer:</strong> Using visudo, add the following to your sudoers file, replacing username with the proper username

USER ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/systemctl restart nginx

This will allow the user to run "/usr/bin/systemctl restart nginx" with any or zero following attributes (ie. start|stop|restart).
