Created August 12, 2021 01:44 — forked from buchireddy/modify_sudoers_for_requiretty.sh

Shell script to modify the /etc/sudoers file and give sudo permissions for a user and also to turn requiretty off.

	# Take a backup of sudoers file and change the backup file.
	sudo cp /etc/sudoers /tmp/sudoers.bak
	sudo echo "$USER ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
	Defaults:$USER !requiretty
	" >> /tmp/sudoers.bak

	# Check syntax of the backup file to make sure it is correct.
	sudo visudo -cf /tmp/sudoers.bak
	if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
	# Replace the sudoers file with the new only if syntax is correct.
