![]() $ sudo visudoĪttention: This method has serious security implications especially on servers running on the Internet. To fix this, we need to add the directory containing our scripts in the sudo secure_path by using the visudo command by editing /etc/sudoers file as follows. Then we encountered the error “ sudo: proconport.sh: command not found”, since /home/aaronkilik/bin is not in the sudo secure_path as shown in next screenshot. In the above scenario, the directory /home/aaronkilik/bin is in the PATH environment variable and we are trying to run the script /home/aaronkilik/bin/proconport.sh (finds process listening on a port) with root privileges. This will happen even if the script exists in a directory in the PATH environmental variable, because when a user invokes sudo, PATH is replaced with secure_path. However, sudo only recognizes and runs commands that exist in directories specified in the secure_path in the /etc/sudoers, unless a command is present in the secure_path, you’ll counter an error such as the one below. Therefore, to run a shell script or program as root, you need to use sudo command.

Launch it with: sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/ is a powerful command line tool that enables a “ permitted user” to run a command as another user (the superuser by default), as defined by a security policy. ![]() Save the launch daemon as in /Library/LaunchDaemons/ and owned by root:wheel. usr/bin is recommended if brew is installed. ![]() and owned by root:wheel with sudo chown root:wheel. So put your shell script my_script.sh in /usr/local/bin/ or in /usr/bin/ (adjust the path in the ProgramArguments array if you use the latter), make it executable with sudo chmod +x. A launch daemon in /Library/LaunchDaemons is already executed with root privileges so you may omit the UserName part. Here is what I have in my LaunchDaemons folder: Ī ~/Library/LaunchDaemons doesn't exist. The file I want to run as root is: "/Users/CURRENT_USER/Dev/my_script.sh" As a last try, I even tried Automator with no luck. I've made a launch daemon, which is allegedly the root functions, but that's no luck either. Then I've been pulling my hair trying to use the launchd function. bash_profile, etc that route got me no where. ![]() I've tried everything and can't seem to get my script to run at startup. ![]()
