Running sudo without entering the password

In my experience, If you want to run a command with sudo privileges but don't want to bother entering the password, visudo is the best way to go.

For example you want to run this command when log-in as user youruser (a sudoer):

sudo php /path/to/your/script.php some_params

Note that the param may be different.

1. First, running this as root:

# visudo

2. Then add the following line:

youruser ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/php /path/to/your/script.php *


3. Save and exit the editor
