Start and Shutdown operations fail for EAP instance from JON when sudo is used as script prefix

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • sudo asking for password
  • Using script prefix of /usr/bin/sudo -u userid does not appear to work because sudo still asks for a password even though the user who started the platform's agent has valid sudo rights
  • Start and stop script for EAP instance fail to work with Script Prefix defined as /usr/bin/sudo -u userid

Environment

  • JBoss Operations Network (JON) 2.3
  • JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) 4.2, 4.3, 5.0
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, 5

  • /etc/sudoers configured to allow JON Agent user to RunAs another user with no password required

        jonadmin     jonagent-host=(jbossadmin)  NOPASSWD: /opt/jboss-eap-4.3/jboss-as/bin/*MyConfig*.sh

  • JBoss AS Server resource configured with

    • Script Prefix: /usr/bin/sudo -u jbossadmin
    • Start Script: bin/start-MyConfig.sh
    • Stop Script: bin/stop-MyConfig.sh
  • start-MyConfig.sh and stop-MyConfig.sh scripts which invoke standard bin/run.sh and bin/shutdown.sh
