starting srcds from wwwrun

[Rio]

I want to start a shellscript from the user wwwrun. The Script start a CSS Server from user srcds but it doesn't start :/

Here is the command in the shellscript:

Code:

su $CS_USER -l -c "screen -d -m -S $NAME $DAEMON $PARAMS"

$CS_USER is srcds.

Is it because the user srcds is password protected? Please help me.

Is there nobody who can help me?

You can use sudo for it

First make a script where you put in the screen-command you wanna run.

Start visudo to edit /etc/sudoers. visudo is just a vi-wrapper to edit /etc/sudoers safely. Now add the following line:
wwwuser localhost=(srcds) NOPASSWD:PATH_TO_SCRIPT
where PATH_TO_SCRIPT is the full path to the script you created.
If you wanna know more read the manpage of sudoers

Now you change the su-line in your script in:
sudo -H -u $CS_USER SCRIPTNAME

That should do it
