How to run a script as root in Jenkins

Question

Hi Guys,

I have configured Jenkins on the Linux system. I want to run a script as root in Jenkins. How can I do that?

Hi@akhtar,

You need to run the script with Sudo. This will run the script with root privileges.

$ sudo /path/to/script

But before you must allow Jenkins to run the script in /etc/sudoers.

jenkins    ALL = NOPASSWD: /path/to/script
