i have a myscript.sh file that is running at startup. there is a command inside that script file which needs to be run with sudo. how can i do this? command is;

/opt/flexnetserver/lmgrd -z -c lic.dat

what happens if i put sudo in front of this command? how its going to take admin rights without entering a password. i am a little bit confused. thanks.

This is the same problem you are trying to address in https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/55746 . @bboran, if you ask a question and find an answer inadequate, please communicate the problem in that question rather than opening a new one.

This depends on your sudo configuration in "/etc/sudoers". Note that this file should be edited only using "visudo" (or a similar tool) but not directly using another editor (even that is technically possible). If you append something like

username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

into that file, a user named "username" can run any command after sudo without being asked to type any password. For your specific case it could be:

Cmnd_Alias NETFLEX = /opt/flexnetserver/lmgrd
username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: NETFLEX

Please keep in mind that above example is untested and might need some adjustions for your specific case.

tried it didnt work. also tried user ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /opt/flexnetserver/lmgrd -z -c lic.dat it didnt work too. how can i check if my script.sh file starts at startup? also my script.sh file only contains the command inside it. is this the correct form of using a .sh file?

What did you try exactly? Actually something like
