This might be a stupid question, but hear me out.
I regularly document steps to install various software for myself on my wiki
More recently, I managed to use different custom text in the source markdown to prepend #
and $
automatically, so commands can be copied more easily while still clarifying if it should be run as a normal user or as root.
Run command as user
$ some cool command
Run command as root/superuser with sudo
# some dangerous command
I usually remove and sudo
and use the # prefix. However, in some cases, the sudo
actually does something different that needs to be highlighted. For example, I might use it to execute a command as the user www-data
sudo -u www-data cp /var/www/html/html1 /var/www/html/html2
I often use $
as a prefix, but #
would also make sense.
How would you prefix that line?
You are wrong. E. g. in Debian (and Ubuntu) the default
sudoers
file containsthat means that any user in the
sudo
group is permitted to execute any command as any other user. The same for redhat/fedora, but the group name iswheel
there.lol thanks for the correction
