The ego.sudoers file is an optional file to configure security mechanisms. It is not installed by default.
You use ego.sudoers to grant permission to users other than root to perform certain operations as root in EGO.
The parameters in this file apply to UNIX hosts only. They are not required for Windows hosts because all users with membership in the Platform services admin group can start EGO daemons.
If ego.sudoers does not exist, only root can perform these operations in EGO on UNIX.
The equal sign = must follow each NAME even if no value follows and there should be no space beside the equal sign.
NAME describes an authorized operation.
VALUE is a single string or multiple strings. The value for EGO_STARTUP_USERS is separated by spaces and enclosed in quotation marks. The value for EGO_STARTUP_ALTERNATE_PATHS is separated by colons.
You can modify ego.sudoers with a text editor if you need to specify an alternate path or paths for a parallel installation.
This file enables the EGO daemon startup control feature when EGO_STARTUP_USERS is also defined. Define both parameters when you want to allow users other than root to start EGO daemons.
For parallel installations and clusters, provides alternate paths to control multiple clusters. Define both parameters when you have multiple parallel installation paths to the directories of the EGO daemon binary files (lim, vemkd, and egosc) and want to allow users other than root to start EGO daemons.
EGO daemons are usually installed in the path specified by EGO_SERVERDIR defined in the cshrc.ego or profile.ego files.
Enables the EGO daemon startup control feature when EGO_STARTUP_PATH is also defined. Define both parameters when you want to allow users other than root to start EGO daemons.
